Ulster Comptroller's Office: Supervisor Quigs Stop Breaking the Law

 Thankfully the buck does not Stop w Mr. Quigley!

 Freeman Story

Ulster Deputy Comptroller lambasted Supervisor Jim Quigley for breaking the law as it relates to properly reporting social service figures. Supervisor Quigley who tells people at board meetings "he has the County under control", apparently does not have the control of  the People's Watch Dog Elliott Auerbach, who beat Quigley in 2008 to get the job.


“We feel that you have misled your constituents in presenting a budget without accounting for a known, non-discretionary expense and recommend you take action to correct the budget immediately,”

-Joe Eriole, Ulster County Deputy Comptroller

Quigley claims that he is paying for costs in a different way that the county does not like. Mr. Quigley has a history of doing things his way, (Unless Senator Skelos calls, then he is more like the puppy a few posts down, Quigs and gop attack puppy Kenny Ronk like to go on walks together according to several Ulster Report sources.) just ask him about the additional title he gave to Maloney, until the state told him it was, what's that word I am looking for? Oh right, Illegal! ..more details on that this week.

NYS GOP TO QUIGLEY: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!

The staff at The Ulster Report heard that Supervisor James Quigley wants to run in the newly created state Senate district that has our town in an open seat. However when Supervisor Quigley made inquires with top GOP brass he was swiftly shot down and told that he would be buried if he ran for the seat. Seems the GOP has other plans for our Senate seat and it does not involve our esteemed Supervisor's ambitious political career. Can you say: Asemblyman Amador? I guess there are still things money can't buy.

ROTLMAO

Alen Sorenson on hydrofraking and try not to laugh, Potential conflicts of interests. Surly you jest, Mr. Sorensen!

The staff at The Ulster Report literally feel off our chairs when Allen Sorensen suggested that the Sullivan County ethics policy be updated to avoid a potential conflict of interest regarding Hydrofraking. Mr. Sorensen who appears to be against Hydrofraking, needs to be consistent and agree to a full environmental review of Ulster Garden's North and he needs to recuse himself from the project. The town of Ulster Planning Board is the lead agency on this project; between the conflict Sorensen may have with Mandelbaum, and the fact the town insurance guy is the newly minted head of the planning board there is at the very least an appearance of a conflict and special favors with Ulster Gardens.

With Alan DeForrest and Allen Sorensen being in charge of this project; Ulster Supervisor Jim Quigley should appoint Micheal Vick as the new Dog officer of our town.

Ulster Report Trivia

The staff at the Ulster Report are big fans of trivia so here is a trivia question we would like you are viewers to answer, the prize will be transparency in government of course.

What former Assemblyman's brother is the town of Ulster's Insurance consultant?

Bonus Question: What former Assemblyman and current Chairman of the Ulster Planning Board was just awarded the Insurance contract for the town of Ulster?

And to make it fun: Who would you rather : Jim Quigley, Chaz Buno or life long abstinence?

Leave your answers in our comment section. Happy trails.

What Say You Quigley's Shill??

The staff at Ulster Report have tried unsuccessfully to post a comment on the blog: Ulster is your town too, which is run by Joe Toscano who is good friends with Supervisor Quigley.

We just had a few questions for him.

1. Why did you put up a post against the Ulster Gardens project and than take it down almost immediately with a glowing endorsement of the project? Was it because you got a call from Supervisor Quigley?

DID THE CALL SOUND ANYTHING LIKE THIS:  Quigley Voicemail as found on Youtube..note you can now play this masterpiece anytime by clicking our "In the News Section"

2. Knowing what we know now about Mandelbaum and his special ways he finds to get around our NYS elections laws, do you still think it's right to rush this project?

3. As a fellow town resident that claims to love the town do you agree that Supervisor Quigley should ask for a full environmental assessment of the project to make sure our town is protected? After all what is the harm????

Supervisor Quigley Fires Animal Control Officer

I'm Sorry Supervisor Quigley - Rover

“I was employed by the town and I did what I was told,” she said. “I never made a decision to euthanize any of these dogs and 600 dogs have passed through my hands since 2002. Though (2010) the total that were euthanized was 11 on 600 dogs and all of a sudden in 2011 ... the town made the decision to euthanize 5 dogs.”

Quigley said he could not dispute the procedural steps taken by Trnka when determining to have dogs euthanized.

 The staff at the Ulster Report are very upset for Rover (above) who has no home and no one to take care of him as he wanders RT. 9W looking for something to eat.  Rover wants Supervisor Quigs to know how sorry he is for not being a purebred like all of the Supervisor's dogs.

Furthermore, Rover represents a bigger problem in the town, if you are like Rover and not in the in crowd with the supervisor, you may be left out in the cold begging like poor Rover and his buddy Animal Control Officer Susan Trnka who last week ws fired by the Supervisor.


We hear Officer Trnka's record was impeccable, and we wonder the Supervisor's real motives for removing her from her position. What say you?

Does Town of Ulster Planner Have Ties to Ulster Gardens Developer?

 Town of Ulster Planner Alan Sorensen, who serves as the Minority Leader of the Sullivan County Legislature, received a $500 contribution in June of 2011 from MJJ,LLC. Is that Mandelbaum? To be honest, we are not sure and are not making any accusations but being we do know that Mr. Mandelbaum has several different companies and uses similar names as the corporate contribution below "MJJ", we feel it's appropriate that we ask the question: Has the town planner ever taken a political contribution from Mr. Mandelbaum? If he has than there is a very clear conflict of interest. Lets not forget that the planning board (which we have already talked about that fiasco) is the lead agency on Ulster Gardens, not the town itself.

Again, we do not know that Mr. Madelbaum made the above contribution, or if the two are connected. We are just asking the questions
