Devastating news came early this evening that former Hudson Police Commissioner, Nassau County captain, and Sweeps proprietor Jeff Bagnall—a great friend to and unofficial counsellor to many locally, died unexpectedly today.
On a personal note, I had many political and other strategic conferences with “Sweeps” in his shop and unofficial office (see above) over the years. A longer remembrance will be posted here soon, to remember one of the great behind-the-scenes forces in the County.
