Support Cornell Cooperative Extension in Warren County, NY
The Warren County Board of Supervisors is purposing to cut 25% to 50% of Cornell Cooperative Extension's budget for the 2010 program year. This is a drastic cut in funding which needs to be reconsidered.
We the undersigned are in support of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Warren County, NY to receive full funding from the Warren County Board of Supervisors.
Cornell Cooperative Extension has served the communities in Warren County since 1916 as a partnership with Cornell University, United States Department of Agriculture, New York State and Warren County. Through its mission statement, Extension’s educational system enables people to improve their lives and communities through partnerships that put experience and research knowledge to work.
The Warren County Board of Supervisors would like to cut 25%-50% of Cornell Cooperative Extension budget. This is a drastic cut which will affect educational programming in all three of the core program areas of 4-H Youth Development, Agriculture and Natural Resources and Family and Consumer Sciences.
Please reconsider such at tremendous reduction in Cooperative Extensions funding.
