“I’ve been doing this since I was 12,” Suffolk County Democratic Chairman Rich Schaffer was saying the other day about his involvement in Suffolk politics.
Now 57, Mr. Schaffer has been the Suffolk Democratic chairman since 2000. As county Democratic leader, “I especially love the generational stuff getting young people into politics,” he said.
It’s kind of full-circle for Rich.
He’s a former member of the Suffolk County Legislature, elected at age 22. On the Legislature he charted an independent course; indeed, informed independence has been a hallmark of Mr. Schaffer’s route in politics and government.
He’s been Babylon Town supervisor for more than 18 years. After two series of terms, he’s the longest-serving supervisor in Babylon history. And this year he’s running for re-election.

Town chooses to opt out on marijuana law (Credit: Courtesy photo)
The Town Board wants to opt out of that part of the new state law that would allow marijuana dispensaries or cafes where it could be purchased and/or used. But it still must allow marijuana to be smoked. However, it can ban smoking any substance in certain places. As of Tuesday’s Town Board work session, the plan called for banning smoking at either of the town beaches Crescent or Wades.
Before it can act, a public hearing must be held and is scheduled for the regular meeting on Friday, May 7.
