Vincent Bradley, New York state liquor authority chairman, gave a presentation on Governor Andrew Cuomo\u2019s proposed state budget for 2021 on \nThursday, Feb. 27 at the Tioga County office building in Owego.\u00a0(Photo by Benjamin C. Klein)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\u201cI have concerns with what I was just informed about when it comes to the proposed budget,\u201d said Martha Sauerbrey, chair of the Tioga County Legislature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of her most pressing concerns were a state deficit in the Medicaid budget and the proposed legalization of adult consumption of marijuana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe state deficit with Medicaid means that the state is going to withhold (federal money) that used to go to local municipalities for Medicaid costs, but will now instead go to paying off the deficit,\u201d Sauerbrey said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The loss of that money combined with what Sauerbrey says is a bevy of unfunded mandates, such as recently passed bail and discovery reforms, are making it very difficult to maintain the budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd what we might have to do is cut funding for outside agencies, things like libraries,\u201d Sauerbrey said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She also expressed concern regarding the budget\u2019s proposed legalization of adult use of marijuana, saying that the current proposal has an acute dearth of details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe devil is in the details and I don\u2019t know anything about this. Are municipalities going to be able to opt out? Will any of the tax money taken from the sale of marijuana go to local governments or will it all go to the state? I need to know more,\u201d Sauerbrey said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For his part, Bradley said that he would bring Sauerbrey\u2019s concerns to the attention of the governor\u2019s office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
