Rep. Ryan, Newburgh residents call for reopening of Social Security office

Rep. Ryan, Newburgh residents call for reopening of Social Security office


Deborah Danzy, vice chair of the Newburgh Democratic Party and an organizer with Community Voices Heard, says she recently spent $40 to take a Shortline bus round-trip from Newburgh to Middletown, just so she could pick up an award letter for her benefits. She says the bus only runs every few hours, and it didn’t actually take her to the SSA office — she still needed to get a cab.
