Citizen's Budget Session

With legislative leaders announcing an updated schedule that puts them on track for an on-time budget, Assemblyman Robert J. Castelli (R, C – Goldens Bridge) has called for a Citizen’s Budget Session where local stakeholders in the 89th Assembly District can come and give their ideas, input, suggestions and express their concerns over the Governor’s proposed budget, prior to the Senate & Assembly budget actions and the Governor’s 21-day budget amendments.

Castelli will host a pair of events, the evening of Thursday, March 3rd, in North White Plains, and the afternoon of Friday, March 4th, in Bedford, respectively, where local elected officials, members of school groups and non-profits will be called to testify. Concerned taxpayers and members of the public will also have an open microphone to air their support and/or concerns which Castelli can than take back to the legislature prior to convening the joint budget conference committees on March 15th.

Castelli is expected to announce a list of those individuals scheduled to give testimony. The preliminary details for the Citizen’s Budget Sessions are as follows:
