Catskill Study Commission bill revival sparks clashes
In Monticello a tense Catskill region debate over extending the Catskill Study Commission resumes Monday after a dead end in the Assembly. Assemblywoman Jean Amatucci and Assemblyman Maurice Hinchey back the measure amid protests from Sullivan County supervisors who fear loss of home rule. The bill failed 67-67 without Amatucci sponsorship and now awaits Hinchece’s next move as Albany jockeys for position.

Newburgh school budget vote set after six week cut
The Newburgh School Board will vote on a 24.9 million dollar budget trimmed from 25.5 million. A 983 thousand dollar library budget also goes to approval at 7 p.m. at Gidney Avenue School with the regular meeting at 8 p.m. A midnight Tuesday reconvenes to elect new officers. The panel cut nine teaching jobs for 120 thousand in savings and will shift laid off teachers to permanent substitutes, paid from 250 thousand for substitutes. Several positions were eliminated including five elementary teacher posts and four driver education roles. The district aims to fund roofs with bonds and reduce operations by 307 thousand to 2.7 million, with tax rates rising for Newburgh city and town while dropping for New Windsor.
