Governor Cuomo wants to cap salaries for directors of state-funded not-for-profits and for-profit groups.

Under it, executives would be limited to a top salary of $199,000

The proposed regulations cover providers that receive more than half a million dollars in state support every year and receive at least thirty percent of their annual funding from the state.

The application is now posted online for the Department of Environmental Conservation Environmental Education Summer Camps.

The DEC Environmental Education Camps offer campers experiences in sportsman education, games, lessons, hands-on activities, swimming, hiking, canoeing and other outdoor activities. Through these activities, campers will learn about forests, water quality, nature and more.

There are four different camps kids can attend, Camp Colby, Camp DeBruce, Camp Rushford and Camp Pack Forest. Campers will participate in discovery groups and will complete six lessons. These lessons include group dynamics, explorations of different habitats and human impacts on the environment.  Science, problem solving, games, journal keeping and wildlife activities are also part of what campers will experience.

Camp starts on July 1, 2012 and goes until August 18, 2012. Campers can attend multiple times during the seven, week-long sessions.

AMSTERDAM - Earlier this month, by a margin of 2-to-1, taxpayers in Amsterdam shot down a school budget that would have raised their taxes 16.5%. On Wednesday night, the school board voted to give it to them any way.

Once the state cut back millions of dollars in funding, the writing was on the wall in the Amsterdam School District.

"Everybody did the best they could in very difficult budget times," School Superintendent Thomas Perillo assesses. "This is there the budget process took us and we did get to a point where it was not realistic to cut any more."

On Wednesday night, the Amsterdam School Board voted 5-1 to adopt a contingency budget that raises the tax levy by 16.5 percent.

"I don't see where we can make any more cuts," School board member Patrick Krohn, said, "if we put more people back in, we're going to raise the tax levy even more."
