It’s Hannon vs. Hannon In The 6th SD
August 26, 2010
(Hempstead, N.Y.) — 34-year Albany incumbent Kemp Hannon recently filed petitions to run on a third “Tax Revolt” line in an attempt to hide his record of voting for over 650 tax increases.
“Hannon helped double state spending, passed hundred of tax increases onto working families and drained billions of dollars from Nassau County,” said Dave Mejias, who is running for State Senate in District Six. “Kemp Hannon has either forgotten his own record or he’s hoping the voters will.”
From 1990 to 2009, Hannon voted to approve at least 203 separate statewide tax and fee increases. From 1989 to 2010, Hannon also voted in favor of local tax increases on 450 separate occasions. The grand total of the new taxes was $33.7 billion. Hannon also voted seventeen separate times to raise or extend over $2 billion in taxes on his own constituents in Nassau County.
“Kemp Hannon being on the Tax Revolt line is like BP asking to be named Environmentalist of the Year,” said Mejias. “No matter what lines Hannon runs on, he can’t run away from his record of costing Nassau County families billions.”

Dave Mejias is running in the 6th Senatorial District, which encompasses parts of Nassau County on Long Island, including North Massapequa, Old Bethpage, Hempstead, Plainview and Farmingdale.
