| POUGHKEEPSIE – Dutchess County Executive William Steinhaus went head to head with the county legislature again, this time over the position of county solid waste commissioner and the county’s resource recovery agency.Legislator James Miccio had written to him seeking appointment of a commissioner. Steinhaus fired back in a Friday, February 4 letter obtained by MidHudsonNews.com that the county charter does not say the commissioner provides oversight of RRA operations and finances. “If that is the expectation of you or the current legislature, there is a basic lack of understanding of the structure of the agency as designed by the legislature when it was created and adopted the original enabling legislation for the RRA decades ago.”Steinhaus told Miccio the legislature should “do what you have failed to do in the last two annual budget cycles – appropriate the resources necessary in the 2011 adopted budget to fully staff a solid waste department.”

While pushing for more over sight to a Failed agency as they suck Multiples of Millions of dollars every year from us, the Taxpayers. Now Mr. Steinhaus wants besides HIS Commissioner of Solid Waste, a position he pushed for and the Super-Majority Republican Legislature voted for, ADD more Government Oversight and More Taxpayers money to fund this failed Department of the Resource Recovery Agency. When will it ever stop. Replace the Executive in 2011 and whomever voted for this Failed agency !
