The members of the Hunterdon County Board of Commissioners offered their thanks as colleagues and County residents to retiring Commissioner Matt Holt, during the April 19th Board meeting, Holt’s final meeting with the group.
Holt, presently the longest serving, or ‘Dean,’ of the Board, is retiring May 1st after fifteen years of County service and twenty-nine years of public service in county and local government in Hunterdon County.
Holt, recognized as the architect of the County’s sound fiscal framework, completed his final act by delivering the 2022 County budget, stating, “Even though I will be leaving the Board in a few weeks, I believe I have a duty to complete my assignment on the Budget Committee to deliver, along with Commissioner Van Doren, a 2022 budget that continues our conservative fiscal policies.
Not only is the tax rate frozen again, but the budget continues our no debt program for the eight consecutive year.”
