Chemung County introduces new transit buses
CHEMUNG COUNTY, N.Y. (WETM) — People in Chemung County should keep their eyes out for some shiny, new, green buses this week.
Announced in a release from the Chemung County Executive's Office, Chris Moss asks Courtney Dunn, Chemung County's Transit Manager questions about Chemung County's new transit buses in a special sneak peek video.
Dunn explained the bus being shown in the video is one of five brand new buses that were ordered by the county, and each cost about $530,000, she further stated, only three of the five have come in so far.
The expenses are 80% federally funded and the other 20% split, with 10% coming from the county and the remaining 10% from New York State, Dunn said.
Potential expansion to include semi-truck parking coming to gas station in Elmira
The outside of the new buses is a lighter shade of green with a white swirl design on the side, Dunn said it's a total rebrand of the old buses.
'We did a marketing, rebranding, it started last year with Idea Kraft out of Binghamton, so it's just something fresh and new, showing people that we're on the map, because we are,' Dunn explained. 'So you'll see the little map, like the location dot on the side of the bus, it's just showing that we're out here and we'll get you where you need to go,' she said.
A couple of the buses are slated to hit the streets the week of Monday, May 26, Dunn exclaimed. The routes of the new buses aren't solidified, but Dunn said the plan is to spread the new buses throughout the county, with each switching routes.
To check out the video of the new bus, Moss explained, people can visit https://chemungcountyny.gov/NewBuses.

Don't Count on a Sustained Fed-ECB Decoupling, Schnabel Says
It would be wrong to expect a persistent policy divergence between the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, according to Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel. 'I expect this trade conflict to play out as a global shock that's working for both global demand and supply — we can discuss which of the two effects on inflation is larger because that that determines the net effect,' the German central banker said on Saturday.

We Now Know the Meaning of 'Religious Enough'
Back in 1959, the chief administrative officer of the United Presbyterian Church warned that churches wielded too much 'economic power' due to their tax-exempt status. Unless religious groups were taxed like everyone else, the nation might soon face 'revolutionary expropriations of church property.' Well, the revolution hasn't yet come for the churches. But regulatory creep has nevertheless nibbled at the margins of religious freedom, with states finding one activity or another to deem not truly religious and therefore subject to tax.
