I wish to thank the New York State Comptroller, Thomas DiNapoli, both on a personal level and as an elected official in Ulster County for his prudent and diligent care of the New York State Retirement system.  As a newly retired teacher, the safety of the retirement system is extremely important to my family and as an elected county official the approximate $3,200,000 less in required contributions this year by the county is well appreciated. 

Drivers in Ulster County just became more knowledgeable regarding what they are paying at the pump, thanks to Ulster County Legislative Vice-Chairman and City of Kingston Legislator David Donaldson and Towns of Hurley and Woodstock Legislator Don Gregorius.  No longer will drivers have to leave the roadway to determine if the price on the large street sign advertises the price for cash or credit.
