SUNY Nearly Got Shafted

Looks like Syracuse nearly got $200M in tax money for a new stadium.

 

This PRIVATE university almost picked up $200M in tax money but the state university in the capital was declined and scoffed at for asking for $40M? UA ended up with just $18M for its "stadium".

 

It's not just about UA. Why should Syracuse get $200M or anything for that matter when the 3 SUNY Center football schools have very basic facilities? Even Buffalo's stadium is ugly and basic. They jammed as many seats as possible into a track in circled hot mess.

 

New York must stop funding these private colleges!!!

This out OUTRAGEOUS...we begged, cried and pleaded for YEARS to get 18million...SBU has had their projects frozen, these are FLAGSHIP University Centers. UB I know is also doing private fund raising for marginal improvement of facilities and the state is just gifting 200 mill to Syracuse.

 

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

Looks guys it's all politics. This money is going to be spent in central NY one way or another. It's not a question of SUNY vs private schools. It's a question what do your local representatives want to fight for? The local Albany contingent has never stuck their necks out for anything. And don't tell me $18m is sticking your neck out. It's chump change.

I left voice mails with Breslin, Farley and Lopez complaining. I call more in the morning.

 

Someone needs to stand up for UA. That someone is all of us.

 

An FYI..Pat Fahy actually represents the uptown campus in the Assembly..and Cecilia Tkaczyk also represents the campus in the Senate (districts split the campus between her and Breslin).

This is all about gaining Presidential traction. You are correct.

 

Still, it's a joke.
