After an exposé revealed former County Executive Marc Molinaro was recklessly abusing his power and misusing taxpayer funds, his behavior triggered a costly countywide audit that just recently confirmed Molinaro in fact violated “the best interest of taxpayers of Dutchess County.
Not only did Molinaro work to skirt county rules to have taxpayers pay for his luxury car – at a monthly rate higher than the average one-bedroom Dutchess County apartment – but Molinaro’s pattern of recklessness was only further underscored by his history: crashing multiple taxpayer-owned vehicles and improperly impersonating an emergency responder.
“Perhaps Marc Molinaro feels entitled to lecture others on reckless government spending because he’s an expert in it,” said DCCC Spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre. “Molinaro’s flagrant abuse of taxpayers’ funds for his own enjoyment is inexcusable and demonstrates just why Upstate New Yorkers deserve better representation.”
