New Hartford, NY – The budget resolution approved by the House and supported by Rep. Tenney will push millions of already struggling people deeper into poverty and will hurt local nonprofit agencies and governments. It inflicts harm on children, seniors, people with disabilities, veterans, working families earning low wages, and people looking for work.
Local community members will call on Rep. Claudia Tenney to reconsider her support for the recent House budget resolution, which hurts thousands of Central New Yorkers. Congress must return to its bipartisan tradition and work to produce a budget that addresses the needs of all—not just the wealthiest among us.

Central New York Citizens in Action, Inc. was developed from the Utica Citizens in Action, a multi-issue public interest association affiliated with Citizen Action of New York. It was founded in 1997 to address critical social, economic and environmental issues facing residents of Oneida, Herkimer, and Madison Counties. Members of our group worked to empower low and moderate income Central New York residents to participate in shaping the policies that affect their lives, such as economic justice, environment, housing, education, economic development, health care, public benefit programs, and consumer issues. Our projects include research and policy development, public education on a wide range of public policy issues, development of educational materials, community outreach and grassroots organizing, coalition development, training, and lobbying.
