HTN: Empire Games Funding Cuts to Affect Buffalo 2010

After a reduction of state spending on the Empire State Games this summer, some sports could be eliminated. One thing to go by the wayside may be regional trials for some of the sports, since organizers won't be able to afford trial venues without state funding. Room and board for adult athletes may be also be out. And a 300-dollar fee for scholastic athletes could be added to cover their expenses. The city of Buffalo is planning to host the 2010 Empire State Summer Games, from July 21st through 25th next year.
