Binghamton community protests Trump's proposal to dismantle Department of Education
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Dozens of protestors rallied in Binghamton on Thursday against a Trump administration proposal to disband the federal Department of Education. The demonstration outside of Binghamton High School was organized by local labor unions representing teachers and professors and included students and members of local progressive groups like Citizen Action and Indivisible. Protestors claim that if all of the Department of Education's money for public schools were discontinued, New York State would lose $1.5 billion in Title 1 funding for low-income schools and $983 million to support students with disabilities. Barbara Mullen is a retired school social worker and co-lead for Indivisible Binghamton. 'Binghamton alone is at risk of losing $8 million for programs that are interventions that help students do their best, reduce barriers to academic achievement. We are very, very concerned,' said Mullen. While President Trump has announced his desire to dismantle the Department of Education, he hasn't committed to what would happen to the funding it distributes.

Local climate change activists concerned over federal cuts
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Environmental activists are concerned about how federal cuts could impact efforts to combat climate change, to build out the clean energy jobs economy and the future of a battery research and manufacturing hub in Greater Binghamton. Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo and State Senator Lea Webb joined the national organization Climate Action Campaign for a news conference in Binghamton yesterday. Lupardo and Webb say federal investments and tax incentives have helped create good paying jobs in manufacturing related to clean energy. They specifically cited the money that has helped to create the New Energy New York initiative that is working to build out a lithium-ion battery ecosystem in our area. Adam Flint, Director of Clean Energy Programs at the Network for a Sustainable Tomorrow says the cuts are short-sighted. 'We need the demand to increase by building out the market, building out batteries and, as has been said, for this country to take back in many ways technologies that we initiated many decades ago and unfortunately ceded to China and other places,' said Flint. Flint says his organization had been hoping to receive a $450,000 grant from the EPA to launch a program educating kids in K-12 schools about careers in the clean energy sector, but that funding has been put on hold.

Lenten tradition returns to Saint Michael's Rec Center
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – There was a long line inside the Saint Michael's Recreation Center in Binghamton today as a Lenten tradition returned in full force. The orthodox church on Clinton Street hosted its 62nd annual Lenten pirohi sale. Last year, it resumed in person lunches following a multi-year pandemic pause and the crowds appear to have returned to near pre-pandemic levels. Saint Mike's sells both potato and cabbage pirohi for eat-in or take-out. There's also soup and haluske, as well as homemade desserts, crafts and wooden Ukrainian Easter eggs. Susan Fabian grew up in the church and wants to keep the tradition going for future generations. 'I'm a grandmother of two little girls and I want my grandchildren to learn everything there is to learn about our faith, our religion, and the ethnicity as well. So, it is extremely important,' said Fabian. In person lunches continue on Fridays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. through April 18. Takeout is also available on Thursdays from 11 to 1 and Fridays from 10 to 4.
