Joe Scianablo , the Democrat running to be Hempstead supervisor, filed a lawsuit Monday morning against the town, former supervisor Don Clavin and recently appointed Republican supervisor John Ferretti, alleging Ferretti’s appointment breaks state law and should be overturned.

Clavin resigned from the seat, which then-candidate Ferretti was subsequently appointed to, at the Aug. 5 town meeting. The move was not announced by the town beforehand, which Scianablo’s lawsuit alleges is a violation of state law.
