Sarah Trafton reports for Columbia-Greene Media that Greene County Legislature’s Finance Committee voted 5-to-4 Nov. 18 to get in the property game. Now the full legislature will vote Nov. 20 whether to buy a building in Coxsackie for $400,000. Currently, the county is renting out 370 Mansion St. in Coxsackie for three years for the sheriff’s office to process inmates while the new jail was being constructed. “If we acquire it now, we save $125,000,” Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said recently. “We have to sell it for $400,000 in order to save the $125,000.” Catskill-based legislators Michael Bulich and Linda Overbaugh, and Greenville's Gregory Davis, all Republicans, voted against the purchase, with the absence of William Lawrence, a Republican from Cairo, counting as a no vote. Two Democrats, Harry Lennon of Cairo and Larry Gardner from Hunter voted for the purchase with Republicans Patrick Linger, from New Baltimore, and Coxsackie's Charles Martinez and Thomas Hobart. “I don’t think the county should be in the business of buying and selling property,” Bulich said.
