City of Kingston: Create Sustainable Jobs!
Mayor Noble and County Executive Ryan,
We demand that efforts are made to attract living wage jobs to this area that will provide safe, healthy and beneficial goods and services in our area. A renewable energy infrastructure is long overdue. We need affordable job training programs, and light industry that will help improve the sustainability of our area and provide a sustainable paycheck for Kingston and Ulster County Residents.
We also demand expanded programs for summer youth employment opportunities that are publicized in a way that guarantees equal access and acceptance to all youth who qualify.
When there is a will, there is a way to access funds. We suggest you take a look at the Police Department budgets.

Why is this important?
The City of Kingston and Ulster County need real living wage jobs. We see development after development granted pilots and tax breaks while offering low age retail and service industry jobs. The people who work in the businesses in our tourism driven area do not pay the ever increasingly high rents while they struggle to afford healthcare, pay students loans, keep up on car payments and other bills.
