Due to the fact many services provided by the County of Erie, State of New York are fully or partially paid for by the
federal government, on March 16, 2017 County Executive Mark Poloncarz ordered certain commissioners and heads of departments that rely on
federal funding to review the Trump 2018
Budget Blueprint and provide a report on the expected impact of it on Erie County services, including, but not limited to, the identification of any programs impacted by the Trump 2018
Budget Blueprint (including the expected
cut in funds received),
possible reduction in direct county jobs as a result of any
cut, impact on third parties that receive funds from Erie County that are received from the
federal government, as well as any other known impact.
On Monday, in a NY1 interview, Cuomo amended that somewhat, saying
possible federal spending
cuts have presented the state
budget talks with «a new problem.»
