Senator Bill Weber Calls On Hochul To Assist East Ramapo Financial Crisis

By Idy Perl

State Senator Bill Weber of the 38th Senate District is calling on Governor Hochul to take action immediately regarding the funding crisis of the East Ramapo Central School District.

In a proposed legislation, Weber requests a one-time payment of $20 million in order to open the public schools for the upcoming school session. Commissioner Rosa recently mandated a 4.38% tax hike for local residents to cover the school district’s deficit, a move that Senator Weber criticized, saying that many residents can’t afford the extra taxes.

Weber’s proposal will take care of the district’s financial crisis without asking for more taxes from residents.

“The ball is in your court, Governor,” Senator Weber wrote in his bill, “and I am hopeful to hear from you soon.”
