Albany, NY – Governor David Paterson's proposed budget cuts will likely mean that some state parks will have to close.

But at a legislative hearing this week, the state parks commissioner would not reveal which parks are on the chopping block. Karen Dewitt reports.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
