Hurley residents who are paying attention know that the town tax rate went down last year and is projected to go lower again under the proposed budget submitted by Supervisor Melinda McKnight. Despite the obstructionists, screamers, and naysayers, Hurley is operating under a prudent and fiscally responsible administration.
Upon taking office the McKnight administration was faced with decades-old infrastructure neglect, severe town-wide drainage issues, a broken leachate system and the shockingly dangerous and condemned highway garage, while they created a more efficient and responsive town government.
Let’s keep the momentum going and re-elect the incumbent Democratic candidates, Supervisor Melinda McKnight, Town Board members Peter Humphries and Gregory Simpson and Town Clerk Annie Reed. They have a long list of endorsements for their re-election including one for Annie Reed from the late Town Clerk Judy Mayhon.
We agree with Ulster County Comptroller March Gallagher, who says, “The work under the McKnight administration to rectify Hurley’s many issues has been nothing short of extraordinary.” Learn more at voteonehurley.org and hurleydems.com.
Early voting runs from October 28 through November 5 with Election Day on Tuesday, November 7.
