Senator Palumbo’s 2022 Legislative Survey

January 21, 2022

Legislative Survey

Governor Hocul recently proposed her 2022-23 Executive Budget.

Now, as my colleagues and I in the State Legislature work to enact this year’s state budget, I am looking for your input on several issues that may be addressed in the budget or before the conclusion of this year’s Legislative Session.

Your responses will help me fight for the commonsense policies we need to restart our economy and make our communities safer.

Thank you for your participation, and I look forward to working with you to ensure the best way forward for Long Island and the state.
