Standing at SUNY Dutchess’s Falcon Hall, one of the locations of this summer’s upcoming New York Special Olympic Games, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today launched a major push to secure boosted funding for the Special Olympics. Schumer explained that recently, the Department of Education proposed slashing the budget of the Special Olympics by $17.5 million, taking away vital programming for Americans with intellectual disabilities across the country, particularly the roughly 70,000 athletes that take part in the Special Olympics in New York.
