A petition in the state Supreme Court seeking a special election to appoint a new Islip council member has been withdrawn because the issue was "rendered moot" after the vacancy was filled. Tom Murray, an attorney and Democratic challenger for town supervisor in 2019, filed a petition on Jan. 3 seeking an order and judgment compelling the town to hold a special election to fill a vacancy on the town board. He filed a letter withdrawing the petition on Jan. 24. But the town board approved the appointment on Jan.
