Falcone believes that the people
of Manhasset should make the
decision. “I know how to get people motivated.” says Falcone. The space that the park district has is too small to have a general meeting, he suggests it should be held at the Manhasset Public Library instead where people can gather and discuss the issues. Falcone is interested in
working “for the benefit of the people.”
