Donaldson Gives Quote of The Month

"according to Glenn Noonan, everything's their idea."

- Dave Donaldson, Chairman of the Legislature




How true.

That was in response to Noonan's claim that the GOP first called for the imposed hiring freeze that County Chairman Dave Donaldson and County Administrator Mike Hein put into place yesterday.

Earlier in the day the freeze was criticized by the GOP, including Len Bernardo and Jim Quigley and now after it was revealed that it will save taxpayers about $750k, it's just politics and we (the GOP) thought of it first.

These people have no shame and must really think voters are stupid.

Noonan and the gang are so bitter, they see the writing on the wall for November and it does not look good for them.

Talk about bring any kind of jobs to Ulster County, and now the county is freezing hiring anyone to work for them. Great. I am sure their are plenty of other ways to save money instead of cutting jobs out.

Jeremy, you're 100% wrong on this. Noonan did in fact push for this several months ago. The dems were against it though.

Maybe someone should do there homework Resolution 97 in March submitted by the republican Caucus.. Maybe mr. Donaldson is getting old and forgetful. The dems should also try to remember their days in the miniority since the thing going on now might help put them back there or not going on as Economic development

Bookmark and CACHE this thread by Jeremy. If in 2 months, this hiring freeze backfires, guess who the dems and Jeremy will blame? The GOP, right?

There is no question Noonan pushed for this months ago...it was reported in the paper and i ehard him say it on the radio...Donaldson needs to admit that. It was the right thing to do but people, including Noonan, were yelling for this at least four months ago.
