From Port Washington Patch:The Long-Islander’s announced sale to a Washington, D.C.-based financial holding company is off.
Peter Sloggatt, associate publisher and managing editor of the weekly, confirmed that the deal was dead. "The old masthead will be returning," he said, adding that he had no further information on what had happened to sale.
Michael Schenkler, publisher of The Long-Islander since 2006 and president of Tribco, LLC, had announced the sale of his media holdings to PFH Media Group in early January. He is also deputy mayor of Port Washington North.
PFH Media Group is a subsidiary of investment firm Phoenix Financial Holdings.
The deal included The Queens Tribune, The Record (of Northport), the Half Hollow Hills Newspaper and Dine Huntington, operators of Huntington Restaurant Week.
The sale occurred while the U.S. Labor Department was investigating the handling of employee benefit plans at another publication owned by Phoenix.
Sharon Byron, an auditor for the Labor Department, confirmed to Patch that "an investigation is moving forward for valid reasons" after complaints about payroll and other problems at a publication in Antioch, Ill. She emphasized that the investigation is looking at the handling of those benefit plans, and that those with responsibilities for them may or may not be company employees.

What?! Schenkler, who publishes whore ads, is Deputy Mayor of Port Washington North?
His constituents know about this? The Mayor of Port Washington North condones this?

Does anyone care besides you?
Dear Robert Weitzner (Mayor of Port Washington North):
It has come to our attention, here at the Queens Crap blogsite, that you have on your Board of Trustees, one Michael Schenkler (pictured here prominently on your official municipal website page).
Do you know, Mr. Mayor, that Mr. Schenkler is the publisher of the Queens Tribune newspaper which publishes prostitution ads in its back pages? Do you think Mr. Mayor that such a seedy individual should play such a prominent role in the governance of your municipality?
We readers here look forward to your response.

That's a happy ending for Nussie!
The whore trade must still be brisk on Long Island.
And a great cry of Hallelujah could be heard coming from the various whore houses in downtown Flushing, Jackson Heights, Corona, ....
I'll take one of Nussbaum's whores any day.
There's nothing decent to f--k around here in Port Wash except maybe codfish.
