Daily Freeman - Donaldson freezes Ulster County hiring: "A discretionary hiring freeze had been in effect prior to Thursday. Donaldson's action bans all hiring that is not essential to the public's health and safety, according to a prepared statement from the Legislature office.
The statement did not say how long the freeze would stay in effect.
Donaldson also barred attendance by county employees at non-mandatory training sessions and conferences and banned the purchase of non-mandated periodicals and other publications.
The prepared statement said Donaldson, D-Kingston, decided to implement the hiring freeze after consulting with Ulster County Administrator Michael Hein, who crafted the county's 2008 budget, and Alan Lomita, D-Rosendale, who chairs the Legislature's Ways and Means Committee, which deals with county finances."
