By: TOHDC "I am running for Hempstead Town Supervisor to reform Town Government by making it transparent, accountable, and fiscally responsible. Making government transparent means providing accurate and timely information to the people. This is the first step in putting the power where it belongs, in the hands of the people. During Kate Murray’s first nine years in office she raised property taxes 44.9%. The increases in Town taxes exceeded the rate of inflation by over 50% even while the workforce was being reduced by 6%. During her first nine years in office she approved special district tax increases of over 40%. During her first nine years in office, the Animal Shelter budget doubled, and the State Comptroller's report showed widespread financial mismanagement," Felix Procacci is the Democratic candidate for Hempstead Town Supervisor. Felix Procacci is a Franklin Square resident who is running to: create a transparent and accountable Town government; get Town Hall meetings online; require Town government to provide residents with the cost of settled employee contracts; post employee contracts online; post all budget data online in a format that allows for searching and sorting; post all Town Board member votes online; and to end the waste and abuse at Town Hall. Felix Procacci is a computer programmer, community activist, husband, and father of two (Katherine 12 & Kenneth 9).
