Both candidates opposed the proposed Fair Taxes Act, which would levy a surcharge on the income taxes paid by the county’s highest wage earners. Hansut said the surcharge on the wealthy would have “a huge trickle effect,” on the county by driving businesses out of the county, which would result in more county residents unemployed.

Hansut said the county would use the revenue for housing, food insecurity and community services without a plan for housing and homeless residents. “Until there is a clear and concise plan, we should not be planning on using tax money on an unclear and failing situation,” she said.

“After much time, work, and collaboration, Ulster County is moving forward with a plan to fill in the gaps with regards to EMS. Times have changed and what used to work and be sufficient for ambulance service is no longer,” said Gina Hansut, Ulster County Legislator and Law Enforcement and Public Safety Committee Chair. “Taking many factors into account for the framework of municipalities’ needs, we can now better provide ALS and BLS services across our county. I feel we will be a model for the state, and I’m proud of the work many have done to keep our residents safe and get them services in a more timely manner.”
