(Albany, NY)– “Job creation is a top priority of the Democratic Majority Conference. I do not, nor have I considered or supported massive cuts to the state’s workforce.

  Public employees contribute to our quality of life and provide essential services to citizens across the state.  I vehemently oppose state layoffs and will continue to fight to keep New Yorkers working.” 

Senator Breslin was Recently Featured in Partners in Quality, the NYAHSA Newsletter:

“It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.”

NY State Senator Neil Breslin echoed those words of Hubert Humphrey on December 29 as he accepted the NYAHSA Partners in Quality Award from the Daughters of Sarah Nursing Home in Albany.
