Guiding Eyes For the Blind Looks Ahead to the Future
Guiding Eyes for the Blind, the Yorktown Heights-based non-profit that provides guide dogs to people with vision loss, is building a new Wellness & Training center that will enable it to train more dogs – and help more people.
“This is an incredibly exciting new chapter for Guiding Eyes as the Wellness & Training Center will expand our ability to fulfill our mission,” said Chief Veterinary Officer Dr. Beth Brenninkmeyer. “Our current facility can no longer keep pace with the size, scope and demands of our work.”
Over the past 70+ years, Guiding Eyes has graduated more than 10,000 guide dog teams, and it places more than 155 dogs annually – with the help of more than 2,000 volunteers.
Government shutdowns usually don’t hurt the economy. This time could be different
Government shutdowns can be political earthquakes that paralyze Washington, DC. But for the economy, shutdowns are often barely a blip.
Whatever economic damage occurs during that time tends to be limited and quickly fixed. Even the last government shutdown â the record-long 35-day shutdown in 2018-2019 â had few long-lasting impacts on the US economy and financial markets.
That could very well be the case again this time around, especially if the looming shutdown proves to be brief. Yet there are reasons this episode could be different â and not in a good way.
The US economy in 2025 looks more vulnerable than during past budget fights. The job market is stumbling, and the Trump administration is threatening even more federal layoffs. A government shutdown would just add more chaos and uncertainty, at a time when there is already plenty of both.
