Dutchess lawmakers push for heating conference

POUGHKEEPSIE – Dutchess County Legislator Joel Tyner, chairman of the Environment Committee, has submitted a resolution seeking to have a home heating summit held similar to that which Ulster County conducted recently.

In his proposal, Tyner would hope lawmakers would hold a conference to address the issue.

“They are talking about home heating oil costing double this winter what it did last winter and the New York State Association of Counties has been in contact with Ulster County. They are very interested in what Ulster County is doing.”

Legislator Steven White will cosponsor Tyner’s resolution.  Both are Democrats.
