Unofficial results last week showed Republican incumbents in Oyster Bay won all three open
board member offices, town clerk, and receiver of taxes
by comfortable margins.
Richard Iannuzzi, a nine - year incumbent president of New York State United Teachers, was defeated
by a
comfortable margin Sunday, and James Jackson, a member of the State
Board of Regents, was pressured
by lawmakers to resign last month; both are casualties of an emotional controversy that has erupted among parents and teachers and mobilized lobbies with a variety of political goals.
