“In this tough economy our school districts need every penny and I couldn’t be happier to deliver this $100,000 grant for the Somers School District. The teachers and staff in Somers work so hard for the kids and it is a great community! I am proud to fight to bring as much of our tax money back from Albany, to home, where it belongs,” said Senator Greg Ball. “As long as I am in office I will continue to fight for the residents of Somers and all for all the constituents I represent.”
