Dear Neighbors,
If you are like me, everyday you open the paper or listen to the news and wonder, “What is happening to our country?” From a local government perspective, we are being squeezed from every direction. Revenues are at the lowest level they have been in a decade and tax payers are at the point they cannot - and will not - pay anymore. Yet the County continues to provide the services our citizenry expects. Now more than ever our County needs experienced and proven leadership to guide us through this difficult time. At times, it feels as though we are the last line of defense against the fiscal insanity coming from Washington and the utter chaos coming from Albany
I would like to share with you some of the ways I have been able to stretch our limited resources to keep the critical services you need and ways we have found; other than property tax dollars; to pay for them.
Thank you for the confidence you have shown in me to date, I have been proud to serve the people of the 5th Legislative District. I want you to know I remain committed to providing the most responsive and effective service I possibly can.
My very best to you and your families,
Kathy
