Dutchess County Historian Update
January 12, 2005
January 12, 2005 [Postmarked January 14, 2005 - Poughkeepsie, NY] Dear Ms. Buechele, Thank you for your letter regarding the position of County Historian as proposed in my 2005 budget. As you know the budget adopted by the County Legislature diminished some of this funding however I am delighted to report that the position will be re-instated this year and I am writing to keep you abreast of our plans. At this time we expect to begin discussing future plans for the County Historian in early February. At that time we will contact the appropriate constituencies to communicate and develop plans for this office. I will be back in touch with you at that time. I too agree the history of Dutchess County needs to be embraced and preserved. Thank you for your support on this matter. Sincerely, Bill Steinhaus [his signature] William R.
