Oswego, New York – Education advocates are urging state leaders to make good on a promise to increase funding for the state's public schools.

The Alliance for Quality Education is releasing a report showing the Spitzer Administration has removed $350 million dollars in promised foundation aid from the executive budget.

WRVO's Jasmyn Belcher spoke with Executive Director of AQE, Billy Easton.
