Arthur Jenkins founder states in first issue of Herald on January 15 1877 that the paper will ignore party politics and discuss public questions while supporting men and measures best for the people.
The 1994 campaign stance against Cuomo’s use of taxpayer funded air travel clashes with Gov. Pataki's tenure. Since 1995 he has logged 1231 flights across 687 days, with costs reaching 1,929 per hour for S-76 helicopters and 2145 for the King Air 350. Critics call it hypocrisy as Pataki expanded the fleet to 56 million for jets and 5 million for four new executive helicopters while touting fiscal restraint.
Campaign for Fiscal Equity urges New York to overhaul the state aid formula to end inequities between city and suburban districts. The group notes NYC’s 1.1 million students constitute about 38 percent of state public school enrollment yet receive 85 percent of education funds, and minorities form 83 percent of NYC students. The appeal hinges on a October court argument, as advocates press for a system that educates all children on an equal basis.

State budget shortfall may leave schools underfunded with estimates of an $8 million gap.
