The Town of Hurley is in a state of political transition
“The Town of Hurley provides a recent example of the political tide in northern Ulster County – political change with distinctly Hurley characteristics rooted in the town’s history and its consequent demographics. Hurley’s a town that’s evolved in sort of a barbell shape, with very different middle-class communities spread out at each end and relatively few people in the middle. In neither end has a central area evolved for a significant cluster of commercial activity. Gertrude Stein’s jibe about her own hometown, Oakland, comes to mind: “There’s no there there.”"
