His new job title was as Community Services Representative — with him receiving the same $179,375 salary that he had as supervisor. Then fewer than 24 hours after the town reluctantly released the information on Clavin’s new gig, the former supervisor abruptly quit again.“I have enjoyed serving the residents of the Town of Hempstead for over two decades,” Clavin said in a statement. “After carefully considering the many career and personal opportunities with which I am presented, I have decided to resign my current position and retire from the Town of Hempstead, effective immediately.” Clavin is set to officially retire Sept. 12, although his pension has not been calculated yet, according to the state comptroller’s office. Democrats including Nassau County party Chairman Jay Jacobs called Clavin’s second resignation an “admission of guilt” and his carried-over salary “a payoff for Clavin stepping down early to give Ferretti the supervisor job. “The Republicans who do these things all of the time were caught, again, ripping off the taxpayers with a no-show, nonsensical job that didn’t need to exist in the first place that was assigned to an office that was shuttered and closed down,” Jacobs said. Minutes after Clavin’s resignation as supervisor, Republicans on the council wasted no time voting in Ferretti, a county legislator — with him and his family already dressed up and sitting in attendance at the board meeting But Republicans pushed back at the notion of any political shenanigans or payback, insisting Clavin’s decision to step down from both posts was his own.Donald Trump seen heading to golf course after strange speculation about his healthMinneapolis school shooter ID'd as trans woman — while disturbing video shows 'kill Donald Trump' scrawled on gun magazinesNassau Comptroller Elaine Phillips, Legislator John Ferretti, and Town of Hempstead Councilman Dennis Dunne Sr. speaking out against Governor Hochul's MTA payroll tax increase.
