City of Elmira 'susceptible to fiscal stress,' state comptroller says
The state Comptroller's Office is sending up red flags about the City of Elmira's financial health — again. The Comptroller's Office released its annual list of municipalities statewide that are under fiscal stress or at risk for financial difficulty, and the City of Elmira is among them. The report breaks down the municipalities into three categories, those facing significant fiscal stress, those experiencing moderate stress, and those susceptible to fiscal stress. Elmira is in the latter category, as it was last year , and is among eight municipalities ranked as being susceptible to fiscal stress. The ranking is based on a fiscal score greater than 45, calculated using both financial indicators such as fund balances, operating surpluses or deficits, and fixed costs, and environmental indicators such as population, poverty and employment.
