In Assembly Committee
In recent years, I have been proud to support efforts to ensure New York State is at the forefront when it comes to utilizing clean, reliable energy.
However, the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act misses the mark, as it fails to include one of our most important energy sources—nuclear power, which supplies more than 30 percent of the power used in New York State.
Today, Western New York lawmakers honored the military service of Army Staff Sgt. David Bellavia in the New York State Capitol. Bellavia, who will be awarded the Medal of Honor next week by President Trump, was recognized for his accomplishments while serving in the U.S. Army. Senators Rob Ortt, Patrick Gallivan, Mike Ranzenhofer, Chris Jacobs, and Assemblyman Steve Hawley adopted a resolution that was read on the chamber floors, recognizing Albion’s David Bellavia and his military service.
On Monday, Senator Rob Ortt (R,C,I,Ref-North Tonawanda) and his colleagues passed Senate Bill 1930, which would permanently authorize big game rifle hunting in Orleans County. Previously, the Orleans County Legislature would have to request for big game rifle hunting through state legislation, which would require authorization from the State Legislature and Gov. Cuomo. In 2017, Sen. Ortt passed a law temporarily authorizing big game rifle hunting thru October 1, 2019.
State Senator James Sanders Jr. (D-Rochdale Village, Far Rockaway) hosted a successful hazardous waste disposal event at Calvary Baptist Church in Jamaica on Saturday, June 15, 2019.
“I am pleased that so many people chose to take part in this event,” Sanders said. “I am proud to be able to provide this service which is one small way we can work toward a greener, more sustainable environment.”
Last night, the Democrat-led Senate passed and Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law the so-called "Green Light Bill” to allow illegal immigrants to obtain New York State driver's licenses. This legislation is an outrage to law-abiding New Yorkers, as well as to new Americans that have taken the appropriate steps to become citizens legally.
