Upcoming Town Halls to Focus on Local Business and Court System

Monticello, NY – Legislature Chairman Robert Doherty announces that businessman Rick Lander and Sullivan County Commissioner of Jurors George Cooke will join Legislature Vice Chair Mike Brooks, County Manager Josh Potosek and Public Health Director Nancy McGraw for Live Town Halls this coming week.

Lander, owner/operator of Lander’s River Trips in Narrowsburg and a board member of both Catskill Regional Medical Center and the Sullivan Catskills Visitors Association, will present at the Monday, June 1 Town Hall, while Cooke, a veteran of State and County government, will speak at the Thursday, June 4 Town Hall.

“Rick has successfully run his family business along the Delaware River for decades, but it’s accurate to say – like many other business owners – he’s never faced a time quite like this, so I look forward to the insights he’ll share,” Doherty stated. “At the same time, George Cooke has been dealing with a court system facing huge challenges, and he’ll clue us in on what to expect of our judicial process in the weeks and months to come.”

Questions for any of the presenters can be submitted via either email at sctownhall@sullivanny.us or private message to www.facebook.com/sullivancountygov and are due by 7 a.m. the day of the particular Town Hall. They should be related to COVID-19 (2019 Novel Coronavirus) concerns and issues, phrased respectfully and apolitically.

The Town Halls will begin at 1 p.m. June 1 and 4 at www.facebook.com/sullivancountygov. The videos will also be made available to view afterwards on the Coronavirus info page on the County’s website, www.sullivanny.us.
