PLATTSBURGH — This year ’s mayor ’s budget was one of the most challenging Donald Kasprzak has faced. Hurdles included soaring salary, retirement and health care costs, as well as the new tax cap and costly unfunded mandates. And according to Kasprzak, it’s only going to get worse. Kasprzak’s budget proposal carried a 1.93 percent tax levy increase. The tax rate per $1,000 of assessed property value would remain at $10.40.

PLATTSBURGH — It’s about making better lifestyle choices, says Jessica Mathews. It’s about a community empowered by youth, and not viewing them as a deterrent. She wants youth to feel they have a place in the community. But most importantly, the coordinator for the Plattsburgh Campus and Community Partnership wants youth to make healthy choices. “We are working to provide education to the youth of the city, as well as parents and community members.” As coordinator for the Plattsburgh Campus and Community Partnership, Mathews works with community organizations to help reduce drug use and drinking among young people.
