Town supervisor asks county for full accounting before considering Lake George TV contract extension
Summary
Town of Hague Supervisor Joshua Patchen told the Warren County Board of Supervisors he is seeking a detailed, itemized accounting for Lake George TV covering the past three years and said he does not want a contract extension considered until those records are provided.
Joshua Patchen, Town of Hague supervisor, asked the Warren County Board of Supervisors during public comment to withhold consideration of any contract extension for Lake George TV until the county receives a full, itemized accounting of how occupancy-tax funds have been spent over the past three years. Patchen requested salary reports by staff member, itemized part-costs, and bank-account balances.
"I would like to see a full accounting of where the money has been spent the last 3 years of Lake George TV," Patchen said. He said the county had paid "around over $800" (the transcript phrasing) and asked colleagues to support obtaining the requested records for Warren County taxpayers before moving forward on any contract action.
Patchen framed the request as a standard municipal transparency practice and said he had not received answers to previous questions about the Lake George TV contract from county staff. The board did not vote on the Lake George TV contract during this meeting; Patchen said he expected the requested figures to be produced in advance of any contract extension discussion.
No county staff presentation or written accounting was provided in the meeting record for Lake George TV; Patchen said he believed the county was "working on the contract" but asked for formal itemized documentation before members considered extending or renewing the agreement.
