Senator Serrano Urges New Yorkers to Beautify their Local and State Parks this Saturday, May 3rd

State Senator Hugh T. Farley (R, C, I – Schenectady) recently announced that he and his colleagues in the New York State Senate passed legislation to reduce the number of clandestine methamphetamine laboratories, which pose dangerous threats to public health and safety. The bill (S3639) implements a series of increasingly severe felony offenses to strengthen the criminal penalties for methamphetamine manufacturing and the possession of methamphetamine manufacturing material.

Methamphetamine manufacturing involves the use of highly explosive, flammable and toxic chemicals, and meth labs pose a significant public health and safety threat, especially if they are located in residential neighborhoods.

Among the many agencies attending the meeting were representatives from the Department of Transportation (DOT), Department of Sanitation (DOS), Department of Buildings (DOB), Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA), Department of Housing Preservation Development (HPD), New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR), Department of Education (DOE), New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) and ConEd.
