Group of Cassadaga Job Corps workers, representatives and students to hold press conference today...
Last week's announcement of the U.S. Department of Labor's plans to pause operations at all Job Corps centers nationwide came as a "shock" to workers at the Cassadaga Job Corps.  However... they say the fight to keep the program running is not over.  One local Job Corps representative, Bill Price, says students at the center on Glasgow Road have banded together to support each other following what he calls a "knee-jerk" reaction by the Labor Department.  Price says, at the Job Corps, students who have very little and helping those who have "even less."  He says it's been "humbling" to see students helping each other out in the program, and they are the one's who'll suffer.  Last week, a federal judge temporarily blocked the pause on Job Corps.  Virginia Wanser says Cassadaga Job Corps has received plenty of community support in response to the pause.  Price adds that thousands of lives have been changed by the Job Corps program.  Wanser says the program has the support of Senator Charles Schumer, but they have not heard back from Congressman Nick Langworthy's Office.  Members of the Job Corps will hold a press conference at the Stockton Fire Hall this afternoon.

Concerns raised at NYS looks to lose about $15-billion in federal aid...
There are new reports out that show New York faces multi-billion-dollar budget cuts if the federal budget reconciliation bill passes in its current form. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office report finds what's known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" would cost the state government more than $15-billion annually, and kick 1.5-million New Yorkers off their health insurance.  Medicaid cuts of this magnitude would also affect hospitals statewide.  Nathan Gusdorf with the Fiscal Policy Institute says the domino effects wouldn't end there... he says there will also be significant cuts to the Supplimental Nutritional Assistance Program -- also known as SNAP.  Gusdorf says that could be up to another $2.1-billion annually.  He adds that New York elected officials will have to choose between spending cuts to safety-net programs... or new tax measures to fund them.
