Kingston, NY (September 3, 2009) - Ulster County has been awarded a total of $750 thousand dollars in two separate Community Development Block Grants; a $400 thousand dollar grant for county-wide housing rehabilitation and a $350 thousand dollar grant for farm worker housing.
Kingston, NY (September 2, 2009) - Two days ago, the Ulster County Executive’s Office was notified of potentially improper emails on the County computer system and immediately launched an investigation. The preliminary results of this investigation indicate that four individuals appear to have participated in the dissemination of pornographic material, which is a clear and intolerable violation of County policy. The individuals involved are employed by the offices of the Ulster County District Attorney and the Ulster County Sheriff.
Good evening. Thank you Chairman Donaldson, Majority Leader Cahill, Minority Leader Noonan, the entire Ulster County Legislature and thank you to everyone else in attendance. This is a very special moment. We are here tonight, just 42 days into an entirely new government. Together, my office, this Legislature and our Comptroller are building a foundation for the future while striving to deliver efficient government for the people of Ulster County. Unfortunately, these daunting tasks must be accomplished in the midst of an enormous financial crisis.
I would like to thank everyone for coming to the release of Ulster County’s 2009 Tentative Budget Press Conference. Because of the transition to the “new” Charter form of government, this will be the last budget originating from the Administrator’s office. I’d like to take a brief moment and thank the entire Legislature, (both sides of the aisle), for being so open to reform over the last two years and I hope that even during these tumultuous times, everyone will work together to deliver the best possible budget for the people of Ulster County.
