Dear Executive Hein:

There are rumors circulating in Ulster County that there are several county legislators whose relatives reside at the Golden Hill Nursing Home on which the legislature is to vote concerning a capital investment of about $1,500 per Ulster County household, that is, $100 million.  Legislators with conflicts of interest may not vote in the best interest of the Ulster County populace.  All legislators with conflicts of interest ought to be required to disclose their conflicts to the Ulster County Ethics Board.   This would include disclosure of whether they have family members, including great grandparents, grandparents, in-laws, aunts, uncles and/or domestic partners who are employees or residents of Golden Hill.

Sincerely,


Mitchell Langbert, Ph.D.
