“I made a promise to the people of Ulster County to make County finances more transparent. This first ever Popular Annual Financial Report shows how much the cost of housing has escalated over the last five years. A greater cost of living, especially as we approach recovery from the pandemic, underscores the importance of monitoring the financial condition of the County,” said Ulster County Comptroller March Gallagher.
“A more informed community will make better decisions,” said Legislative Chairman David Donaldson. “This type of transparency is especially important as we face the difficult financial challenges associated with the pandemic.”
