Statement from Legislator Iannello on Kevin Hardwick
Contact: Michele Iannello
Phone: (716) 812-5283
“Obviously the County Executive has found a candidate who will support his agenda of
raising taxes and giving pay raises to patronage employees. Given Mr. Hardwick’s record
on the Tonawanda City Council he is the ideal candidate; Mr. Hardwick not only raised
taxes but also voted to raise his own pay. Considering his pledges in his past races to
support 90% of Joel Giambra’s agenda, there is no doubt he will be the “Rubber Stamp”
that Mr. Collins is looking for.
“I look forward to talking to the voters over the next several months about my record of
never voting for a tax increase, fighting for real reform and cutting the cost of Erie
County government. It will be an easy choice for the voters in November, can they really
afford the higher taxes Mr. Collins and Mr. Hardwick are planning for them?
“Unfortunately, it seems Mr. Collins is talking out of both sides of his mouth while he
continually bashes career politicians he turns around and has now decided to support a
candidate who has spent the last 35 years running for political offices. I guess we can file
his attacks on career politicians right next to his pledge to cut taxes.”
