This is the first Daily Recap. It is a look at Dutchess related stories I’ve found during the day.
I find it is always good to look back before doing a story. Last year, Poughkeepsie’s City School District had seven-plus million dollar budget gap. This year, it is almost nine.

Ads help bridge budget gaps. Just a note, John Bellucci over at NYSBA tells me the ads on the Newburgh-Beacon and Bear Mountain bridges are up.
