"2012 State of the County Address
Marcus J. Molinaro, County Executive
The difficult journey we embark upon together"
---------------------------------------
Thank You to our new Co. Exec. Molinaro for moving forward with what his
predecessor did not for far too long an extended period. ONWARD. THE FUTURE
IS WAITING. Working together we can provide a better future for Dutchess:
----------------------------------------
". . . .We have been guided by a rich history and robust shared heritage. .
. .
Our thanks to . . . . . . . . and local historians across our county for
their efforts.

You have a large task ahead of you . . . .Dutchess County government will
assist you, by IMMEDIATELY moving forward with the appointment of a County
Historian. Further, we will restructure the Department of History moving it
under the proven leadership of County Clerk Brad Kendall. As the Clerk is
responsible for the archivist function of county government, this is a
logical realignment meant to maximize our effort.

In this vain, I will ask our County Historian to work with County Clerk
Kendall to continue the preservation of our records, paintings and prints,
and other historic artifacts, and expand the public places where we display
our history. Every building lobby, elevator landing and entryway provide an
opportunity to tell the story of our county, explain the experiences that
got us here today, and remind us of the opportunities, beauty and potential
that exists in every neighborhood, at every corner and around every table
throughout our county. . . . . . . ."
