The announcement comes on the heels of a Newsday story that said a room of employees in a county office building in Mineola were making promotional calls about the referendum. Posters plastering the walls of the office urged the passage of the proposal, Newsday said. The head of a group opposing the plans requested an investigation.

An aide to County Executive Ed Mangano claimed the employees were merely part of an informational, rather than promotional, campaign. [Post via AP]
