State spending, meanwhile, reached $58.6 billion, a $9 billion increase in the first quarter of the States\u2019 fiscal year due in large part to increased Medicaid costs.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Apparently to offset the $7.1 billion drop in revenue, Governor Hochul knowingly decided to recover a sizable portion by retaining intended Federal funding to the counties of County Medicaid dollars. Rather than adjust the state budget with state spending, Hochul opted for the building of a project such as the Football stadium in Buffalo, which also happens to have her husband on the receiving end of being an outside vendor for services. How many \u2018others\u2019 will be provided to be a part of the grift is yet unknown.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We have not come so far as to not remember the Governor Cuomo type projects, which had several on the receiving end who were investigated and prosecuted. We are still paying on those debts with lost investments exclusive of the prosecution costs paid by taxpayers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Even though Tioga County District 124 NY Assembly and District 52 NY State Senate voters predominantly vote Republican, those who are Tioga County Democrats who vote the party ticket year after year are in fact aiding and abetting to perpetuate New York\u2019s Democrat Administration for financial overspending. Spending which will in part be recovered at the local level when all will be paying \u201dState Tribute\u201d in our Town and County tax bill in December 2023 for Governor Hochul\u2019s actions of underfunding mandated County Medicaid accounts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Thank you notes can be sent in January 2024 to those registered Democrat voters from an obtainable list available at https:\/\/tiogacountyny.com\/departments\/board-of-elections\/.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Note: The Fiscal Year for Counties and Towns is January thru December as opposed to the State, which is April thru March.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sincerely,<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Florence Alpert<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Candor, N.Y.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Editor, The NY State Office of the State Comptroller reports state revenue for New York in the first quarter of the fiscal year; \u201cThe&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":82352,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-97003","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-letters"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
