Brennan Kearney (D-Rhinebeck), said, “My no vote reflects my commitment to the residents of Dutchess County to demand a budget that addresses the pressing needs of all our community members – many of whom are struggling to make ends meet in the current climate of financial insecurity. The County Executive’s budget fails to chart a clear path forward to protect our neighbors shouldering the burden of economic uncertainty and I cannot support it.” The article reports that the Legislature passed the proposed $650 million 2026 Dutchess County budget and that the budget then went to the county executive.
