LEGISLATURE PASSES CONTRACT TRANSPARENCY LAW
Posted September 22, 2015
With a unanimous vote, the Ulster County Legislature approved a local law to ensure any changes or amendments to a county contract will be submitted to the County Legislature for approval.
“Until this local law, after a contract was approved by the Legislature, we never saw it again, despite changes and updates,” noted Legislator and law co-sponsor Carl Belfiglio. “We might approve the purchase of one service and actually pay for another without the proper checks and balances.”
