Speaker:
Our County Executive, Eddie Diana, provided an insightful program into how well Orange County is doing compared to other counties in New York... Quite frankly I got caught up in listening and didn't take real strong notes, but a few things: 1) There have been no County tax increases in the last six years - three of which saw reductions, 2) The current rate is $2.96/$1000, and 3) Orange County has a AAA bond rating --- one of only two in the State --- which saves the County millions of dollars in interest.
