Suffolk County Legislature presiding officer keeps eye on ballot question results
Rep. Nick LaLota, left, speaks with Suffolk County Legis. Kevin McCaffrey at the GOP watch party.
Suffolk Legis. Kevin McCaffrey (R-Lindenhurst), the presiding officer who will leave office at the end of the year due to term limits, said he was “on the edge a little” even though he’s not up for reelection.
“I want to leave this place in a better place than I found it,” he said.
He said he was hopeful the proposition passes to extend the length of terms for legislators from two to four years.
“It’s all craziness, you know, running three times in four years,” he said.
