NY budget: Towns, villages face 20% cut, Syracuse to lose $1.8M
Updated Jan 21, 2021;
Syracuse, N.Y. – Towns and villages across New York face losing 20% of the state aid they get each year under the proposed state budget from Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
The proposal would mean some towns and villages in Onondaga County would lose tens of thousands of dollars this year in state money.
Statewide, Cuomo said this week, the cuts in “aid to municipalities” would be about 5%.
Yet that’s just the overall average.
When looking at individual towns, villages and cities, the numbers shake out a bit differently.
Towns and villages would take a 20% hit. That means Clay would lose about $83,000, Salina $58,000 and Cicero $37,000 as part of the proposed $193 billion budget.
