  For the past few weeks, Democratic, Liberal and Working Families Candidate for Town of North Hempstead Councilman, Fred Pollack, gets up at 5 a.m., turns on CNN as he gets dressed and then heads for the train stations where he spends the early morning vigorously campaigning. His day ends late, after he has performed his duties as a lawyer in Mineola ... and much more campaigning. But this is par for the course for this seasoned campaigner. Fortunately, Pollack's task is made easier because as he meets and greets the voters of the town's electorate, he has an impressive list of credentials and accomplishments to meet and greet them with.
