Lansing school officials told the Board of Education Monday that AES Cayuga will be contributing more in property taxes beginning next year. The money will come as a result of an agreement between the power company and Tompkins County. Superintendent Stephen Grimm said that the agreement has been negotiated by Tompkins County Administrator Stephen Whicher, who he noted has significant assessment experience.
'This agreement is extremely beneficial to the school district," said school Business Administrator Mary June King. "It is leading to a reassessment of the value of AES Cayuga at two years, then again at five years, ten years, and fifteen years. The tax rate will be based on our tax rate every year. We will receive the same tax rate from AES Cayuga as we receive from all of the other citizens of the district."

 U.S. Congressman Michael Arcuri was in Lansing Monday to learn about the global electronics market. Arcuri visited Kionix in the Cornell Business & Technology Park to talk to executives about their market, global competition, and what Congress can do to promote American business, as well as to tour the high tech facility.
"I've been to about 60 different businesses in the past year throughout the district," Arcuri says. "I think it's really important to find out what's going on, especially at a company like this that is doing such cutting edge, innovative things. So much of what they do is not just local, but international. I want to find out what affects them, how they affect the rest of the business climate, and what I can do to help."

 Tompkins County Administrator Steve Whicher has delivered to the County Legislature his final recommended budget, a 2009 Tentative County Budget that meets the Legislature’s goal of a tax levy increase of no more than 3 percent.
“This goal was accomplished through the hard work and responsible budgeting by all departments and agencies,” notes Mr. Whicher in a cover letter to the budget document. “Many departments and agencies agreed to absorb initial State funding reductions as part of their submitted budgets. Their good work is to be commended.”

The intent of the Safe Routes to School program is to enable and encourage children to adopt a healthier and more active lifestyle by making bicycling and walking a safer and more appealing transportation alternative. The funds will also help local agencies plan, develop and implement transportation projects that improve safety while reducing traffic, fuel consumption and air pollution in the vicinity of schools.
