ASTORIA, N.Y. – Senator Michael Gianaris issued the following statement about the expiration of school zone speed cameras.

“Today is a sad day for New York: rather than do their jobs, Senate Republicans continue to play politics with our children’s safety by allowing the school zone speed camera program to lapse. As these cameras go dark, families will wonder if their children will be the next victims of reckless drivers. This failed leadership shows why a Democratic majority is more necessary than ever.”
