An online petition with more than 1,000 signatures urges Smithtown officials to remove the founder of a controversial right-wing group from a part-time role.

Concerned Citizens of Smithtown, a civic group, has collected 1,048 signatures from residents who want the town board to reverse the hiring of Kevin Smith as a public relations assistant. The all-Republican town board voted 3-0 at their meeting to hire Smith, a founder of the Long Island Loud Majority, at $43 per hour.
