Kaiman Resigns, Senior Named Interim North Hempstead Supervisor

End of an era: Christopher Senior is interim North Hempstead Supervisor after Jon Kaiman resigns.

Written by Jason Molinet

Jon Kaiman's last act as North Hempstead Supervisor was celebrating North Hempstead Day by dressing in period clothing and giving elementary school students a lesson in history.

He gave residents a lesson in the transition of power when Kaiman tendered his resignation Monday to Town Clerk Leslie Gross. Newsday reported that while Deputy Supervisor Christopher Senior is the acting supervisor, the Town Board could appoint someone in the interim.

The next scheduled meeting is Oct. 1.

Kaiman, 51, leaves after five terms to assume a state position as special Long Island adviser with the New York Rising Community Reconstruction Program.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo also tapped Kaiman to head up the seven-member Nassau Interim Finance Authority, the state control board overseeing the county's finances, replacing outgoing chairman Ronald Stack.
