Poughkeepsie... Dutchess County Executive Marcus J. Molinaro asked county residents to share their thoughts and feedback to help with the development of the 2013 county budget and more than 2,200 residents responded. Results of the Dutchess County Budget Survey, which was conducted this summer, have been compiled and are now available on the County’s website www.dutchessny.gov. Residents from throughout the county, including a wide range of age and income groups, responded to the survey and expressed support for more than 70 optional services and programs provided by Dutchess County Government. Residents indicated a willingness to pay a higher property tax rate to continue to support those services overall. However, residents were clear in their desire to see increased efforts to consolidate/reduce duplicative services provided by various levels of government.
