While attacking candidates personally is off limits, examining their voting record is not. It is important so voters can make educated choices at the polls. Saugerties Republican legislators Roberti and Fabiano joined their Republican colleagues and voted NO (Legislator Aiello was absent) to appropriating funds for the following contract agencies:
Ulster Literacy Association, Ulster County Historical Society, Hudson River Maritime Museum, The Center For Photography in Woodstock, Women's Studio Workshop, Ulster Performing Art Center, Ulster County Arts Alliance/ Ulster County Arts Council, Shadowland Theatre, Woodstock Film Festival, Resource Center For Accessible Living, The Mohonk Preserve as well as an agreement between Ulster County Community College Retire Senior Volunteer Program and the Department of Aging.
Our Democratic legislators supported all these worthwhile organizations unanimously. They partner with county government to provide vital services, avenues for economic development, and art and cultural opportunities for both residents and tourists.
It is interesting that legislators Roberti and Fabiano abandoned their political philosophy of not supporting contract agencies to vote YES, with the Democrats (with one exception) in supporting the Federated Sportsmen’s Club. They certainly were not a model of consistency. I wonder why?
