Serino unveils $722M 'no-frills' 2027 Dutchess County budget

Dutchess County Executive Sue Serino presented her "no-frills" 2027 Executive Budget in the Dutchess County Legislature Chambers on Friday, Oct. 30. This $722 million County budget , Serino said, "protects what matters most and safeguards the essential services our neighbors depend on." Compared to 2026's $653 million adopted budget , there is an approximate 10.7% increase for 2027's budget. There were "serious fiscal challenges" to face, including the nearly $90 million gap between anticipated expenses and projected revenue at the beginning of the budget cycle. Spending is on the rise, according to Serino, due to factors outside of the county's control. Over 70% of budget costs are mandated by the state and federal government, limiting flexibility and becoming the biggest challenge. Even so, the budget includes no cuts to services and no layoffs. "This may be a 'no-frills' budget, but it is grounded in responsibility, stewardship and care for our neighbors," Serino said. What has been done to offset the $90 million gap To mitigate the $90 million gap, seven vacant positions have been eliminated, and only four positions were added, including three street outreach workers added by the Legislature in September and a Deputy Sheriff position for the Threat

NY Republican claims ‘stolen’ election after blue wave, local vote machine chaos

The only Republican on the Westchester County Board of Legislators is refusing to concede to a Democrat in his bid for reelection — claiming the election was “stolen” from him because of local vote machine chaos . County Legislator James Nolan made the wild statement as he trailed Democratic challenger Kisha D. Skipper by 246 votes in his reelection bid, according to unofficial results from the Westchester County Board of Elections. Board of Legislators candidate James Nolan claims the election was stolen from him in a Facebook photo post. Facebook/James Nolan Nolan, who represents portions of Yonkers, Bronxville, and Eastchester, was in position to lose his seat after days of ballot counting following a widespread programming glitch on Election Day in Westchester County that saw voting machines unable to scan paper ballots. The race was already ensnared in controversy when Skipper was handcuffed and detained by cops after a restroom brawl with Nolan’s mother at a candidates’ forum in Yonkers last month. “Following a massive countywide voting machine shutdown on Election Day, I have serious concerns about what took place, and the timing of these failures raises questions that demand answers,” Nolan said in a statement after ballots were counted
