(Hauppauge, NY-May 1, 2014) “Suffolk County will deeply miss the dean of our Assembly delegation. Assemblyman Sweeney has been a true public servant for the past 40 years, first serving the residents of the Village of Lindenhurst as Village Clerk and then all residents of New York State as an assemblyman. In my 10 years as Babylon Town Supervisor, his partnership helped countless seniors, families and children, created some of the best parks in the region and improved the environment for all. His efforts are a primary reason why the Wyandanch Rising project is underway today.
He has served as a mentor and role model to me and for that I am truly grateful. I thank him for his service and wish him well in his retirement.
