A retired New York City Police Officer, Steve Franzini, is running for the position of trustee of the Village of Mineola under the New Line Party. FULL STORY

Perhaps what has made the election of 2003 in the Village of Mineola so intriguing is the differences between the three candidates. All three - incumbent mayor John P. Colbert, current trustee Jack Martins and former trustee Maryanne Warnecke - all have their differences, both in their professional lives and their views for the village. However, they are also similar in that they were once all allies. Consider that Warnecke and Colbert both used to run under the Village Party. For this election, though, Warnecke has created the Mineola First Party. Also consider that Martins used to be Colbert's campaign treasurer and served as president of Mineola's library board under Colbert's tenure as mayor. Now, the two are heated rivals on the board of trustees. Martins and Warnecke also appeared to be allies at one time, but now are also engaged in a heated campaign for mayor. FULL STORY
