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.
