Ulster lawmaker seeks curb on county PR department
Ulster County legislator Alex J. Nirenberg filed a show cause order to restrain the county public relations department and sought a repeal of the 1971 statute creating the unit. Nirenberg accuses the department of wasteful spending and political bias while aiming to limit activity to county attractions and historic events. The move followed a tabling of his resolution, with further actions anticipated in Albany and July.
