Senator Jen Metzger

I've been fighting to get our fair share of funding for roads in SD-42, and I'm very pleased that a number of important roadways in our region will see much-needed improvements. I'll continue to advocate for increased funding for our rural roads in this year's State Budget negotiations, including funding for both state and local roads. These investments are essential to public safety and a thriving local economy.

The article only lists a few of the projects in our region. There is over $10 million of new funding for roads in Delaware, Orange, Sullivan, and Ulster counties!

Via SullivanTimes:

"On this #HolocaustRemembranceDay, we honor Sullivan County's Arthur Weisfeld, 94, a Holocaust survivor who lives in Monticello. The former haircutter at The Concord shows us all how to find joy in life no matter the horrors of one's past."

SullivanTimes

Good morning Sullivan County! Sharing a “sweet” video to get your week started. It’s two Monticello residents from Saturday night at Resorts World Catskills. (And, a great live performance by the band @CloudNYne at Bar 360). We're sorry we didn't get the full name of this wonderful woman (Theresa) since we were not working that night. But the man is Arthur Weisfeld, 93, a Monticello resident since 1954 who is a Holocaust survivor and former barber at The Concord. @Cloud NYne #SullivanCatskills. UPDATE: We can now (happily)report that the woman dancing is Theresa Mohammed.

Senator Jen Metzger

We have an urgent need here in New York to address the affordability crisis facing current and future college students, and the legislation I sponsor with Assemblymember Jonathan Jacobson to extend the Excelsior Program to part-time students seeks to do just that. The program would also include students at BOCES and other vocational programs.

Every young person in New York deserves access to higher education without having to sacrifice putting food on the table or being forced to take on unsustainable student debt. This is not a problem that we can solve overnight, but allowing part-time students to benefit from tuition assistance under the Excelsior Program will make college more accessible for many more students than the program does today.
