Otsego Democrats Concerned About Federal Cuts that Will Likely Impact Local Budgets

It’s budget season. “There’s a lot we don’t know,” said Adrienne Martini, a member of the Otsego County Board of Representatives, to a group of about 15 people gathered in the community room at Green Earth Health Market on the morning of Saturday, September 13.

Martini led an informal discussion about the potential financial impacts of the passage of the federal government’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act on local residents and programs. She is a resident of the City of Oneonta and represents District No. 12 and Wards Three and Four on the county board.

Valerie Cole, a member of the Steering Committee for the Otsego County Democrats, announced a number of opportunities for folks to get involved, including a dance party on Saturday, September 27 at 6 p.m., free canvasing training, an upcoming meet and greet at Wise Guy Sammy’s, and a second No Kings protest on the lawn by the Foothills Performing Arts and Civic Center on Saturday, October 18, among others.
