Assemblyman Phil Palmesano (R, Corning) has been strongly opposed to Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul’s proposed budget cuts to schools, Palmesano says he and Senator Tom O’Mara recently had a zoom conference call with around two dozen school superintendents. “They said that this would be devastating to their school districts,” Palmesano stated. “Also it would be devastating to the school district’s property taxes and taxpayers would have to make up the difference. There would be major cuts that would have to happen to school programs, if the budget cuts went through. Plus, the superintendent’s are trying to set their budgets,” Palmesano explained.
