Elected officials to receive large pay boosts The Dutchess County Legislature on Thursday (Dec. 7) adopted a $601 million budget for 2024 that lowers property taxes, raises hotel and sales taxes, and boosts pay significantly for the county executive, legislators and other elected officials. The 15-9 vote ended with three Republicans joining six Democrats in opposing the budget, an unusual level of disunity in a Legislature where the 17 Republicans and eight Democrats often split along party lines. The disunion represented the conflict over the increases in salaries and sales taxes. With the raises, which were not part of outgoing County Executive William F.X. O'Neil's original budget but passed as an amendment proposed by the Legislature's Budget, Finance and Personnel Committee, incoming Executive Sue Serino will receive $185,500 next year, instead of the current $157,424. County Clerk Brad Kendall will be paid 26 percent more ($150,000 versus $119,330) and the Legislature's chair 56 percent more ($54,500). The budget also contains a 68 percent increase for legislators ($27,500) and an 81 percent boost for the majority and minority leaders ($45,500). Assistant party leaders would receive a pay hike of 76 percent, to $36,500. Committee chairs, currently unpaid, would receive $3,000 stipends beginning next year. Dutchess legislators also passed a resolution requesting state approval to raise its portion of the sales tax to 4 percent from 3.75 percent beginning in June 2024. Only six counties, including Dutchess, have sales taxes below 4 percent, according to the state Department of Taxation and Finance. Putnam raised its sales tax in 2007 from 3.5 to 4 percent. The higher tax will reap an estimated $8.3 million for the county and $1.7 million for Beacon and other municipalities, which receive a share of what the county collects. The increase will not affect purchases of clothing and footwear of up to $110, which will continue to be exempt from sales taxes in 2024. "We cannot do this [raise sales taxes] at the same time we have just proposed raising salaries for officials here in Dutchess County," said Legislator Yvette Valdes Smith, a Democrat whose district includes Ward 4 in Beacon and is the minority leader. Visitors staying at county hotels will pay more under the budget, which raises the tax on lodging to 5 percent from 4 percent. The change is expected to generate $4.8 million in 2024, O'Neil said in a statement on Dec. 8. O'Neil, who will leave office on Dec. 31, highlighted cuts in the property-tax rate and levy. Property owners will pay 26 cents less ($2.23) per $1,000 of assessed value next year, and the overall levy of $99.4 million is the lowest in 15 years, he said. "This is a reasonable budget that not only takes into consideration the needs of all our residents, but funds them in the most responsible manner possible," he said. Along with the tax proposals, O'Neil said the budget includes cost savings and new spending. He said the new county jail in Poughkeepsie, the Justice and Transition Center, will save $1.8 million in overtime and another $5.5 million through "staffing efficiencies" and policies adopted by Sheriff Kirk Imperati. O'Neil also said the county would save more than $265,000 on its public bus service by "eliminating inefficiencies" on underused routes, adding trips on "the most utilized routes," expanding hours of operation to "work and shopping destinations" and instituting other changes. The budget adds eight positions for a planned homeless shelter and two deputy sheriffs trained as "community resource officers" to work in the City of Poughkeepsie. The county will support Hudson River Housing with an additional "housing navigator" and a vehicle for outreach to homeless people, and create a $200,000 grant program to expand composting by residents, with a matching grant program to help municipalities install and operate composting equipment.

Finally, a free lightning tool! NASA's Short-term Prediction Research and Transition Center (aka SPoRT) has released a new, interactive tool to help you track - and maybe, just maybe, predict - lightning. The map viewer, available at https://weather.ndc.nasa.gov/sport/li..., not only shows you where lightning is happening but how long since the last lightning strike. So no longer do you have to worry about keeping track of that last lightning strike before returning to the pool, beach, or soccer practice, this tool will let you know when that 30-minute window has elapsed. On this week's episode of the Carolina Weather Group, we talk with Dr. Chris Shultz, who monitors lightning professionally and personally (you'll see). This episode was available early to our Patreon supporters. Thank you for your continued support of the show! And please do note: This video contains lots of light flashes from recorded lightning video. Those with photosensitivity may consider listening to the audio-only podcast when it publishes on Wednesday.

There are far too many cities and towns struggling with homelessness, with no easy answers on how to fix the problem. It is a growing crisis largely being ignored by local municipalities and government as a whole. As an example, in the state of Georgia, the Department of Housing and Urban Development reports that well over 10,000 people find themselves in a homeless situation. Jacque Hawk Jacque Hawk, and his son Erin, decided it was time to do something about the growing homeless situation in their own community of Augusta-Richmond County, Georgia, where hundreds of people are living on the streets without any kind of assistance or emergency shelter. "Many of them are suffering from mental or physical illnesses, and they are hungry, scared, hurting and alone," said Hawk. It was the fall of 2016, when Erin suggested to his father that they help the homeless in the community. By walking the streets and visiting these people they could not only see their pain, but feel their pain. They decided to do something about it. They started a social media campaign to put the word out that they needed supplies for these folks. Jacque says, "We started collecting clothes and winter blankets and toiletries, whatever the homeless needed and handing them out.” However as soon as they were seeing success, it all came to a screeching halt as city officials were taking the same items that they were busy delivering to folks - and they were throwing their life-necessities in the trash. Jacque was outraged! But not without the means to strike back. And so he did. You see, Jacque Hawk is an attorney in the community. He knows a thing or two about litigation. So using his experience he threatened to sue the City and Sheriff's department, and anyone else who messed with his plan to help the homeless. Jacque asked each one of the homeless to help him so he can in turn help them. “I gave the homeless notepads and pens and said, you write their car numbers, their badges, you write their names, and you give it all to me,” “And I put it all over Facebook, on my website; and then I get a call from Chief Patrick Clayton of the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office - can we talk about this?” What happens next will surprise you. The story continues on the Brink of Greatness Podcast… The Next Leap Forward Together they have formed the Augusta Homeless Initiative, which is a task force that consists of several individuals from Augusta’s Housing and Community Development Department, The Salvation Army, United Way, Family Promise of Augusta and several other local organizations. The goal is to create a long term Transition Center to assist many of these folks to get on their feet and to secure a job, “A transition center is somewhere that the homeless can get basic fundamental health care,” Hawk said. “It is somewhere they can take a shower. Somewhere they can go to get out of the weather and somewhere they can lay their heads at night.” Just think of the impact this man and his son have made and continue to make in the lives of these people. Jacque Hawk is a Brink Thinker with an incredible heart and the passion and commitment to put action in the place of empty words and promises.
