$362,607.25 was given to State Senator Skoufis while he helped kill a bill to permit Orange County towns and villages to tax property sales in order to preserve land.
I had no idea Senator Skoufis voted against the Preservation bills for Orange County while Ulster County got their Preservation bill passed with their Senator Metzger's support.
I encourage others to contact Senator Skoufis and tell him to vote in favor of Orange County Preservation Bills in the future or let him know: 'Although I may not vote against you, I may not vote for you either.' This bill is so important.
It is essential and indisputable that local residents throughout Orange County be allowed and empowered to vote on and decide whether they want Preservation fees to be collected to preserve some of our precious open natural spaces.
I just sent an email as suggested to Skoufis.
Thank you! Please do let me know if he replies. :-)
I have sent two emails so far with no response.
