MONTICELLO – Adoption of the state budget is less than a month away and officials of SUNY Sullivan and the county are concerned about potential cuts in the spending plan .
Albany’s commitment of covering one-third of the costs has not been met in decades and other state reductions could be coming down the pike.
Speaking for the entire Sullivan County Legislature, that has Deputy Chairman Mike Brooks worried.
“It think it’s time to fully focus on education and as one of the paramount priorities, because without that, I don’t think we want to live in a world where education gets diminished and diminished each year,” he said.
SUNY Sullivan President Jay Quaintance said one hit to the college this coming year could be interesting on late payments to employee health insurance benefits.
