In her March 11 address to county residents, the focus was on the fiscal health and wellbeing of Dutchess, but some officials felt county executive Sue Serino missed the mark by avoiding such topics as funding cuts and other concerns.

HOPEWELL JUNCTION — On Tuesday, March 11, Republican county executive Sue Serino took to the stage at John Jay High School to deliver commentary on Dutchess in her State of the County address.
The evening began with a welcome by Wappingers Central School District superintendent Dwight Bonk and a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance led by Dutchess County sheriff Kirk Imperati. Ava Dvorak, a senior at John Jay, offered her rendition of the national anthem followed by an invocation from Reverend Dr. Edward L. Hunt of the Bethel Missionary Baptist Church. The Evergreen Chapter of Sweet Adeline’s International performed “God Bless the USA (Proud to be an American)” with the Roy C. Ketcham High School Step Team closing out the pre-speech segment of the evening with their “Formation” demonstration.
Sophia Puglia, a John Jay junior, then introduced the county executive whom she described as “a role model for women.” Serino then began her presentation, “The Lives We Touch,” by thanking her family, colleagues and those assembled. She pinpointed Dutchess residents as her focus, saying “Tonight is about more than policies and programs. It is about people. Because — at the heart of every decision we make, every dollar we invest, and every initiative we launch — there is a life we are striving to improve.”
Serino’s speech highlighted the expansion of county undertakings for seniors, youths and veterans as well as initiatives in public safety, emergency medical and mental health services, agriculture, housing and childcare. Hoarding, crime and scams impacting seniors were also topics of discussion during her address.She noted the reorganization of the Department of Behavioral and Community Health, which has been separated into health, mental health, and veterans’ affairs — an approach which Serino believes has enabled these departments to serve residents in a more productive fashion.
Serino pointed out the county’s Silver Certification from the state via its New York Climate Smart Communities program, and emphasized its position of fiscal strength with its AA+ bond rating status as confirmed by Standard and Poors — the highest rating for any county in New York State.Additionally, Serino noted transit ridership is up with over 880,000 Dutchess residents utilizing public transport services.
She maintained that strategic planning and conservative economics have benefitted Dutchess homeowners and county employees.“I’m so proud that our 2025 budget continues the tradition of fiscal responsibility, cutting the property tax rate for the 10th year while ensuring that there were zero layoffs within county government,” Serino said, pointing out that the county will continue to actively monitor its spending while continuing to steadily grow initiatives.
Serino said she is prioritizing programs to benefit the 55-plus set. She shared the news of the creation of the OFA Ambassador title, a role expected to connect seniors and their families with programs and services offered by the Office for the Aging. “It’s so important that they have the support they need to stay active, connected, and live the lives they deserve,” said Serino, who also announced the Older Adult Skills Fair which will enable older workers to keep their skills sharp and remain connected to their communities.
Enriching the lives of veterans is another area Serino is tackling with the April launch of the first “Honor-A-Veteran” ceremony in recognition of Vietnam veteran and First Lieutenant Andrew Doro. She reminded the audience of Veterans One-Stop, which connects former military members to services and benefits such as housing guidance, healthcare options or financial assistance. Serino also announced another new title — a Veterans Outreach role, which will serve as information provider to veterans in need of guidance for supports they may need. Additionally, a transportation initiative, “Go Go Veterans,” has been launched, which provides vets with transport to appointments and gatherings.
More specifically to Northeastern Dutchess, Serino spoke of housing initiatives, pointing out the Habitat for Humanity dwelling recently erected in the Town of North East. At press time, the dwelling remained empty, pending necessary revisions to the property which will enable the owners, the Macagnone family, to finally occupy the premises. Serino also spoke of the need to grow locally owned business, saying, “Our small businesses are the heart of our local economy, and we’ve recently launched our Small Business Roundtables to provide a space for business owners to connect, share challenges, and access resources to help them grow and succeed. Our first two roundtables, in the Village of Millerton and the Arlington Business District, were huge successes.”
One item of discussion undoubtedly of interest to residents of Northeastern Dutchess was EMS services. Extended ambulance service wait times and coverage gaps have long been an issue throughout the region which lacks a hospital. Serino touted the implementation of supplemental EMS coverage, but then segued into a discussion regarding EMS needs related to senior citizen accidents without returning to the topic at hand.
North East town supervisor Chris Kennan, who was in the audience, felt the issue should have been further addressed. “While I was interested to hear what the county executive had to say on a number of subjects, my main interest in being there was to speak with her about EMS services in the Town of North East,” Kennan said. “We probably pay more on a per capita basis for EMS services than any other town in the County... The town is committed to making sure our residents have access to emergency medical services, but it is also my job to look for a less costly way to do it.We need the county’s help on this.”
Throughout the evening, Serino remained upbeat, an approach which, while accentuating the positive, may not necessarily address the fiscal worries of Dutchess residents. While Republican politicos in the audience supported Serino throughout the evening, some Democratic officials had a different take. “The county executive’s address struck an optimistic tone but felt out of touch, given the struggles many Dutchess County residents face, especially as federal funding cuts have started to hit our community,” observed Chris Drago, D-19. “Nearly $3 million in funding has been cut or frozen at Rock Steady Farm in North East, $600,000 at Ronnybrook Farm in Pine Plains and the Cary Institute in Millbrook has already faced layoffs. We’ve heard of individual agricultural grants disappearing, hurting local businesses, workers, and our broader economy … These cuts are happening now, and we need leadership that will fight for our fair share.”
In a March 12 email to the News, county comptroller Dan Aymar-Blair conveyed his own concerns that greater advocacy and more action on behalf of the county executive is needed. “I appreciate that Sue focused on the people we serve. It reflects what I’ve come to know of her,” said Aymar-Blair. “In my conversations with people, non-profits, and businesses, I do not hear a sentiment of hope that was the theme of the speech. There is anxiety everywhere about federal funding being cut off, and what lower federal spending will mean for our local economy. We are heading into choppy waters and people are always asking me, ‘What’s the plan if we lose grants? What’s the plan if sales tax revenue drops off?’”
