Officials rallied Friday to restore Aid and Incentives for Municipalities, or AIM, funding cut in Gov. Andrew Cuomo's proposed budget.

Tom Nolan comes to the senior citizen center in North Babylon every day. He says he's concerned about bus transportation to the center being scaled back. Town officials say those are the kinds of cuts they'll have to consider because of a loss in state aid.

Cuomo's proposed budget eliminates millions of dollars in AIM funding to localities.

Town supervisors and mayors from across Long Island are calling on Cuomo to restore the funds on which they rely annually.
