NUTRITION AT CORNELL COOPERATIVE EXTENSION Working Hard to Make a Difference
-BY LAURA HUNSBERGER AND EMILY REYNOLDS JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK (February 17, 2023) – You may know of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County (CCE Chautauqua), for their 4-H programs & seeing kids show animals at the county fair, and for the support provided to the Agricultural Community. But did you know that it also has not one, but two wonderful nutrition programs that are distinct, yet complementary to each other?
aged 5-19. While SNAP-Ed also works with adults, this program works directly with the youth and children from the ages of 5 and up that are recipients of SNAP benefits or eligible to receive SNAP benefits (formerly called food stamps.)
There are many benefits to offering two programs in a high-need county like Chautauqua.

Counties United In Opposition To Budget Proposal That Would Take $625 Million From Local Taxpayers One unintended consequence of the proposed $227 billion state budget is that it will increase the cost of home ownership and rents across New York State, according to testimony presented today by the NYS Association of Counties (NYSAC).
“Not only does this proposal harm New York's local taxpayers, but it also subverts Congress' intent for this funding to be shared with the local governments that contribute to the state's Medicaid program,” said Clinton County Administrator Michael E. Zurlo, president of NYSAC. “At $7.6 billion The 2024 Executive a year, counties in New State Budget proposes to York contribute more withhold $625 million in federal funds that counties than all other counties in the nation combined.” have used for more than a decade to prevent local property tax increases. The budget proposal targets eFMAP funding In testimony to the New that was provided to states as part of the York State Legislature's federal Affordable Care Joint Budget Committee Act (ACA). In New York on Local Government, NYSAC detailed the harm State, the ACA eFMAP has been used by the state that the proposal would to help fund the Medicaid do to local taxpayers program and by counties and encouraged State to help stabilize property Lawmakers to reject taxes and provide other this proposal. needed local services.
governments eventually come out of all New Yorkers' pockets in the form of increased property taxes which make our state a less affordable place to live, work, or start a business,” said the letter signed by New York's bi-partisan group of county executives.
The proposal would reverse 20 years of precedent by ending the practice of sharing federal Medicaid aid with counties that help pay for the program. If enacted, the first year of this action will cost counties $281 million and another $345 million to New York City. In three years, the impact of this new proposal will compound, costing local taxpayers more than $2.5 billion over the three-year period.
“A major factor in the creation of our state's affordability crisis is the state's long history of imposing higher and higher costs on its local governments,” said NYSAC Executive Director Stephen J. Acquario. “The last thing the State should do is burden local taxpayers with more costs that will drive up the cost of homeownership and rent, increase business expenses, and make New York more unaffordable.”

In a letter to the Governor, all 19 of New York's county executives called on the State Legislature to reject a proposal in the Governor's budget that ends the longstanding practice of sharing federal Medicaid funds, known as enhanced Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (eFMAP), with counties. “As a former county official, you can appreciate that new costs imposed on local
Instead of sharing these federal dollars with counties to apply toward local tax relief, the State Budget and financial plan divert the funding to other areas in the $227 billion state budget, including depositing $5.4 billion in reserves. The impact of the state's withholding of the federal Medicaid assistance will be felt as soon as the budget is enacted because counties' 2023 budgets are already locked in place.
