Letter from Maureen Dill

With Gratitude for Work of CFOC

In recent editions of your publications, the Community Foundation of Otsego County alerted readers to the implications of draconian cuts to essential services that will result from recent executive orders emanating from our nation’s current administration. The elimination of services so essential to people in need must not be permitted to continue.

Kudos to the leadership of CFOC, who always demonstrate their social conscience and commitment to the needs of our community. As a former grant writer in the field of human services, I must say that Otsego County is so very fortunate to have a foundation such as this.

In the face of these cuts to essential services here at home, as well as other actions that are damaging our nation’s reputation as a leader around the globe, I believe it’s time to take back our government.

According to NYSEG, smart meters will roll out here in our county sometime in 2025. Global penetration of smart meters has reached an estimated 14 percent. Utility companies—including NYSEG—will undoubtedly state there…
