Dear Chairperson Doherty:

The Upper Delaware Council (UDC) expresses appreciation for your letters dated February 16, 2023 sent to New York State Senator Peter Oberacker (51st District) and Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther (100th District) re: NYS Budget and Legislation for 2023, in which you advocated for state funding consideration for our organization.

You accurately wrote, “The Delaware River Management Plan, which created the Upper Delaware Council (UDC) in Narrowsburg, outlined a 60% federal/40% states cost-sharing ratio based on a $500,000 annual operating budget to subsidize the UDC’s critical work. Thirty-seven years since the Plan’s adoption, New York has never contributed any of its envisioned $100,000 share. I’m sure you agree it’s high time for funding to be allocated, lest we endanger the UDC’s future.”

 Thank you for initiating this valuable outreach on behalf of the six Sullivan County towns along the Upper Delaware River and our bi-state membership that is actively working with our receptive state lawmakers to rectify this situation. 

 

Laurie Ramie

UDC Executive Director
