VANDERHOEF DELIVERS STATE OF THE COUNTY

Rockland will be putting off plans for a new $29 million dollar highway garage but moving forward with a $122 million dollar nursing facility, the cost of which would largely be shouldered by the state.

Vanderhoef said the county was working to fix that problem by keeping a closer eye on payroll. His address came almost a month later than last year’s.
