Lew-Port: Roser details revised budget, impact on district
by Janet Schultz
The Lewiston-Porter School District has reduced its budget each year since 2009, but New York state has also reduced its aid in each of those years, leaving the gap up to the district to be filled.
The Lew-Port Board of Education has found ways without increasing the tax levy in three of those years, but, as a result, it now makes the 2013-14 budget more difficult to balance.
A handful of district residents heard the realities of Lewiston-Porter's revised budget at a public hearing Tuesday night.
All totaled, the net state aid loss to Lew-Port in the past four years has been $9.4 million.
Niagara Wine Trail expansion approved by Legislature
State Sen. George Maziarz, R-C-Newfane, has announced that both chambers of the State Legislature approved legislation (S.1095-A) to expand and rename the Niagara Wine Trail system. The new configuration will extend the trail in Niagara County, Orleans County and Western Monroe County, encompassing more wineries than ever before.
"I have fought hard over the last couple years to make sure our wine trail system keeps up with the rapid growth we are seeing in local wineries," Maziarz said. "This new configuration will make it easier for tourists and visitors to find our wineries. Signage, literature and other tourism promotion materials need to be updated to reflect the wineries in existence now, and new wineries that are springing up almost every year."
