While the allegations are presently being investigated by state and local authorities, it is imperative that the County immediately take the appropriate steps to safeguard Ulster County taxpayers’ more than $214 million in cash assets,” Comptroller Gallagher told midhudsonnews.com.

Hurley Town Supervisor, Melinda McKnight made a declarative statement Wednesday evening about the recreation association that bares the town's name. “The Hurley Recreation Association, commonly known as Hurley Rec, is neither operated nor funded by the Town of Hurley. Its name is derived merely from the fact that it is located within the town. Hurley Rec, a swimming and outdoor recreation park at 50 Dewitt Mills Road, is a nonprofit organization that is funded by members’ dues and guest fees, and is managed by a Board of Directors.” The statement appeared to assure town residents that their municipalities' finances were not effected by this incident.
