Does anyone out there think this is easy?
This is what we deal with when hiring employees for a municipality. It’s almost too much to bear.
Department heads try their best to weed out applicants who either can’t work as a team or be trusted on a job alone.
Here we have Brian Lyons of Saugerties, an UC Corrections Officer, who is out on disability moonlighting as a pizza delivery man.

He managed to find the gas card of UC Public Works Commissioner David Sheeley who said he had misplaced his gasoline card. Now, what would you do?
(this is where the thinking comes in)
Computers track expenses from every card used for gas within the fleet. Did Brian think no-one would ever notice the spent $800? Astounding! It’s considered petty larceny.
Now, here is the ultimate kick. Lyons yearly salary is almost $50K. He is collecting 100% while out on disability. I don’t get it. I dont think he's starving! That’s more than the median income average for Ulster County, including mine.
Sheriff Van Blarcum is dealing with the courts now to fire him. Best of luck.
