As you may know, Ulster County is about to change our form of government so instead of being governed solely by a legislative body, we will now have a County Executive accountable to the people who can be held responsible for problems (like the jail) in county government. I have been working to support Mike Hein’s campaign for County Executive. As Chair of the Industrial Development Agency I found Administrator Mike Hein to be a competent and intelligent person who is not afraid to make real changes to Ulster County government, even if it means changing the status quo.
He and I worked together to introduce performance-based funding for Ulster County Development Corporation- so if they don’t perform, they don’t get funded. We also made joint recommendations to consolidate many of the county’s economic development functions under a single roof. Mike has done other great things, like reduced the County’s employee healthcare costs by millions of dollars. If we had Mike as County Executive, the jail debacle would never have happened. Come meet him and learn about some of the things he has already accomplished as County Administrator.
His opponent is well financed and as much as we may dislike our campaign finance system, the best way to get the right candidate elected, is to fundraise so that he can be competitive.
Please join me at Gisiano’s on the September 25th for dinner, to meet Mike and put our money together for the future of our county. I would like to see 20 of my good friends and family join me at this event – even if going to political fundraisers is not something you usually do. You can call the reservation number below or tell me if you want to come with me. If you cannot attend, please consider sending a donation directly to Mike Hein’s campaign at www.heinforexec.com
Thanks for your support and for reading this.
