Dutchess County Executive Bill O'Neil has issued an order prohibiting hotels in the county from being used as emergency shelters.

The order comes as Dutchess County is facing the prospect of migrants from New York City being sent to the county.

So far, no specific arrival date has been announced.

O'Neil issued his order after declaring a state of emergency exists in the county because of the impending arrival of migrants.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Yes, good.
Dutchess County is one of the most beautiful places in the Northeast (along with Columbia county above it).

I hope they can stand up to this.
