Aug 29, 2023
Over 100 Rally At Town Hall to Protest Loud Majority Hire, Who Later Withdraws from Job
Smithtown Democrats organize a rally attended by over 100 people at Town Hall in January 2023 to protest the hiring of Kevin Smith, of the so-called Long Island Loud Majority, a recognized anti-government group. Smith has targeted Smithtown residents and families, mostly surrounding school board issues, despite not having been a resident of Smithtown. The community came together, organized by Sarah Tully and other activists, and demanded that the Town rescind its job offer to Smith. Shortly after, it was reported that Smith withdrew from the job.
