Post-Vote Suggestion by Julie Dudrick

On hamilton.nextdoor.com, Julie Dudrick urges:

 "Now that the votes have been counted, it's time for the Hamilton and Morrisville-Eaton communities to come together and work collectively on a solution to solving our districts' budget issues. Almost 1,500 votes were cast yesterday in Hamilton and Morrisville, which demonstrates that a substantial percentage of us care a great deal about education in our community. I hope that every person who cast a vote yesterday will consider contacting Governor Andrew Cuomo today to let him know that we are concerned about the future of education in Hamilton, Morrisville and Eaton. 

Please familiarize yourself with the Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA), and if you feel as I do that this is an unjust way for the state to shift its costs to our local school districts, let our elected officials know. This link provides a brief explanation of the GEA, and summarizes how it is hurting school districts like ours: http://www.nyssba.org/clientuploads/nyss...

Wouldn't it be wonderful if Governor Cuomo received 1,500 letters today that let him know that our districts cannot accept additional cuts in education aid, and that they must reduce or eliminate the GEA? If you want your voice to be heard, you may contact the governor through his website: http://www.governor.ny.gov/contact/Gover..."
