This amount would restore revenue to 16 SBHC sponsors whose non-Medicaid grant funds were severely reduced last year by a combination of a 20% State Budget cut and an administrative action taken by the State Department of Health (DOH) to change the methodology for the distribution of these funds. We are happy to see that cuts to SBHCs were not in the proposed executive budget for the 2018- 2019 State Fiscal Year.

  • Sample Resident Letter Re: Route 9A Repairs
    Sample resident letter re: Route 9A Repairs Our local senator David Carlucci (D -38th Senate District) is sponsoring a bill authorizing the NYS Department of Transportation to study proposed improvements of Route 9A. (The full text of Senate bill S7554 is here: https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2019/s7554) The suggested improvements include guardrail installation, underpass renovations, and the fiscal, logistical, and environmental impact of such improvements in the towns of Ossining and Mount Pleasant. This study is a necessary next step for residents to benefit from badly needed upgrades to Route 9A. The bill also sets a timetable, requiring the Department of Transportation to report their findings to the governor and legislature within one year. The Briarcliff Manor Board of Trustees is asking all residents to send an email encouraging support, and passage, of this bill. Residents can prepare an email by simply clicking on this single link: Create email template for NYS Officials. Dear Chairman Kennedy, We applaud Senator David Carlucci’s bill S7554 to authorize a study of long overdue improvements to state Route 9A in Ossining and Mount Pleasant. Deficiencies in the road design, including low bridges and outdated on-ramp designs, make this roadway very dangerous. The undersized drainage structures under Route 9A result in flooding of residents’ homes. These conditions have led to an accident every three days along Briarcliff Manor’s two-mile stretch alone. Many drivers aware of the Route 9A issues detour onto our local side roads overwhelming our roadways, the congestion at the 9A/North State Road traffic light is extremely dangerous, and both create hazardous conditions for local traffic and pedestrians.
