POUGHKEEPSIE — Outgoing Dutchess County comptroller A. Gregg Pulver will be taking on the role of assistant county executive. He was appointed to the position by county executive Sue Serino on Dec. 13.

The appointment comes after Pulver lost his bid for the comptroller’s office to Dan Aymar-Blair in a tight race in the November 2024 election.

His new responsibilities will include oversight of several county government departments, management of county operations, acting as a liaison between the Dutchess legislature and the county executive’s office and supporting the executive’s initiatives and proposals.

In accepting the appointment, Pulver emphasized his continuing commitment to county residents in a non-electoral post, saying, “Having made the decision to not pursue future elected office, I’m excited to be able to continue to serve in helping ensure Dutchess County is a place where families thrive, businesses grow, and our agricultural roots remain strong. I look forward to collaborating with our community to address challenges and seize opportunities that benefit our neighbors.”

Pulver’s term as comptroller will conclude on Dec. 31. His new role will begin on the first day of 2025.

Pulver’s starting salary as assistant county executive will be $125,000. As comptroller, his ending salary was $115,854.

He will replace outgoing assistant county executive Chris Baiano, who is slated to retire in the first quarter of the New Year.

At the time of her trial there were 5,000 enslaved people in the state. MumBet’s legal victory set a precedent for the abolition of slavery in Massachusetts in 1790, the first in the nation. She took the name Elizabeth Freeman.

For anyone who wants a deeper glimpse into how art comes about, an on-site artist talk is a rich experience worth the trip.On Saturday, June 14, Henry Klimowicz’s cavernous Re Institute — a vast, converted 1960’s barn north of Millerton — hosted Amy Podmore and Brigitta Varadi, who elucidated their process to a small but engaged crowd amid the installation of sculptures and two remarkable videos.

Though they were all there at different times, a common thread among Klimowicz, Podmore and Varadi is their experience of New Hampshire’s famed MacDowell Colony. The silence, the safety of being able to walk in the woods at night, and the camaraderie of other working artists are precious goads to hardworking creativity. For his part, for fifteen years, Klimowicz has promoted community among thousands of participating artists, in the hope that the pairs or groups he shows together will always be linked. “To be an artist,” he stressed, “is to be among other artists.”
