A claim made by Jim Langan as a former presidential aide is as follows: Jim Langan is a columnist with the Taconic Press in New York. He has served as an aide to President Richard Nixon and was the Executive Producer of "The Morton Downey Jr. Show". He has vowed never to vote for Hillary Clinton while still a free man.

There are a few questions to be asked about this claim. First of all, Langan was born in 1947. So when Nixon took office in 1969, Mr. Langan was 22. In 1974 when Richard Nixon resigned he was 27. Presidential aide? Most likely not. Gofer to the presidential aides? More than likely.

Now, this is interesting. There was a James Kennedy Langan that was found guilty of misappropriating (stealing in layperson's terms) at least $18,177.31 from the accounts of six customers during the time he was employed at Drexel Burnham Lambert Incorporated. The date of the below document is Sept. 21, 1981 (and the information within would conicide with the age of 25 when he became employed as a trainee representative in 1972).  Neither James Kennedy Langan or his attorney appeared at the hearing to dispute the said charges (which may be considered to be an admission of guilt). In fact, after he was terminated from his job, seems he got the hell out of Dodge considering mail notifying him of the impending legal proceedings was unclaimed and returned (in act of cowardice). Being found guilty by unaminous vote, James Kennedy Langan was permanently barred from membership with the NYSE and any employment with any member or any organization. If this is the same James Kennedy Langan (and there is only ONE James Kennedy Langan that is a result of a people search) that is the owner of the HV News and who married Caroline Carey (who coincidently also worked in investment banking) per the following wedding announcement, http://www.nytimes.com/1997/06/01/style/caroline-m-carey-james-k-langan.html 

it would explain why he ended up as a producer of the Morton Downey Jr. show (because he was no longer able to be employed in the banking & finance industry). For those who are unfamiliar with the show, it was the precursor to Jerry Springer in the 1980's, but much sleazier. Which explains his style of reporting in his paper = Utter trash.

Langan did not respond to to the legal paper work that was sent to him by the NYSE. Langan is a coward and is still a coward to this day. One can see it in his eyes. Like most cowards, he is also a bully. Rather than bully people physically, his rag paper is his vehicle to bully others. How can Langan be the moderator of the Supervisor Debate. James Kennedy Langan is a thief, a coward and a liar!!!

According to a former Drexel employee, Langan had a booze problem of biblical proportions. In order to feed a booze problem of that magnitude, money and lots of was needed. Another acquaintence at the SEC stated that a NESD action was taken against Langan thus revoking his Series 7 license. ONCE A THIEF, ALWAYS A THIEF.

Let's not forget that Langan is Serino's political handler and sometime speech writer. Both are losers.

One can only imagine the horror that would have been unleashed upon Hyde Park with the combination of Don Goddard as police chief and Jim "The Thief" Langan as a police commissioner. Goddard was an accused thief of stealing time from the town and Langan is an actual thief as per the NYSE. These two creeps would have cleaned out the town's bank accounts in a matter of weeks.

I wonder how Langan would look in an orange jump suit with flip flops. Oh yes, how could I forget the DOC across the back of the jump suit.

@Patrick Henry:

How about the Martino board? Do you believe there's much left in the bank accounts after his empire building?
First they reinstated the town clerk salary to what the previous town clerk made even though much of her salary was based on longevity. They later hired another parttime clerk, since the town clerk complained about the amount of work there was.
They hired a comptroller who was unable to do the work of maintaining the town's financial information.
They hired a parttime police chief to "save money", then made his position full-time with a salary of $100,000 this year. If you read the resolution of June 13, 2011, with an increase of at least 3% every year until 2015. He also receives longevity compensation. It goes on and on with other costly provisions of that resolution.

I only hope there is something left in the coffers for the next town board to use for daily expenses.

To mscw42: What do you know about the town's finances except what Langan writes in his rag. Remember, Langan is a proven thief, liar and coward. What about Lown's off the wall rantings at town board meetings. She appears to be a very deeply disturbed woman. Would you believe somebody who made a $750,000.00 mistake? She was in way over her head.

Jim langan was full of shit. Claims he was an executive producer for Morton Downey Jr. He was just a script writer per a goggle search on the show.
An aide to President Nixon? I CALL BULLSHIT on that one too. The guy was a hack job. Full of himself, probably was narcissist PD given the grandiose image he portrayed of himself.
