County seeking funding to boost farmers’ market

STATE LAWMAKER CALLS FOR PROBE OF STATE BROADBAND PROGRAM State effort lacks transparency, says state Sen. Rob Ortt

A large amount of our tax dollars have gone to a program that has not achieved its advertised goals and we must find out why.”

PLATTSBURGH | The Clinton County Legislature is applying for a $200,000 grant to aid the Plattsburgh Farmers’ Market as they expand their offerings. The legislature unanimously agreed to apply for the federal Department of Agriculture grant on behalf of the market and the Lake City Local Development Corporation last Wednesday. The grant would allocate money toward marketing and promotion; development of a consolidated cross-season market model; marketing training for producers and development of a partner network to promote local food hubs. “This three-year grant will help build a gold-standard farmer’s market in Clinton County,” said Legislator Christopher Rosenquest (Area 9). » Farmers market Cont. on pg. 5

Stefanik supports proposal to strengthen work requirements for food stamps GOP plan draws criticism from left By Pete DeMola EDITOR

WASHINGTON, D.C. | The House will vote on a bill this week that proposes implementing stricter work requirements on food stamp recipients. The proposed Farm Bill legislation tightens the requirements for applicants to enroll in job training programs in

order to access food stamps. Formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, SNAP constitutes about 80 percent of the bill’s spending. The program currently contains some work requirements for able-bodied adults between the ages of 18 and 49 without young children. The proposed GOP-penned legislation would raise the age to 59 and would require recipients to work at least 20 hours per week. Recipients would alternately be required to enroll in vocational training

for the same amount of time, which would increase to 25 hours in 2026. The current $900 billion bill is scheduled to expire at the end of September. Republicans believe the work requirements will alleviate poverty and incentivize some 5 to 7 million beneficiaries to enter the workforce. But the measure, widely expected to be one of the last big policy fights before this year’s midterm elections, has Republicans and Democrats on track to clash. » Stefanik Cont. on pg. 4

The Town of Plattsburgh teamed up with the Adirondack North Country Association and Clinton Community College last week for a day-long seminar on solar power for local municipal leaders at the Institute for Advanced Manufacturing. Representatives from nine counties and two states were in attendance to learn more about the benefits of solar power, utility-scale solar and rural land use.
