Having been reporting mis-information and leaving out pertinent information in the past, the Journal still gets news wrong.

The County has nothing to do with the potential merger, it states the county does. Below is the Headlines from the Journal, judge for yourself this mis-leading headline:

  Results of Poughkeepsie Journal “Speak Up” question

Greater than 3-to-1 majority favor consolidation of services

The following results were published in the Poughkeepsie Journal on Sat June 16

“Should the county consolidate certain fire districts to lower taxes and boost operations?”

 Jim Doxsey Writes: Really Poughkeepsie Journal, the County?

 There are ” 6 Fire Districts ” looking at helping each other, Not the County!

 The County wouldn’t even consider a ” Study ” back in 2008 when asked by myself to the Legislature via Resolution. A mere Study- not asking for a handout or a remedy- a Study.
