As a newly-elected Assemblyman, I am eager to work with Governor Cuomo and my colleagues in the legislature to bring about effective change this year. We must bring fiscal responsibility back to the state and instill life into small businesses, working to create jobs for the people of the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes Region. I am confident that working together we can lead the way in reining in spending and turning our economy around. If actions follow up the goals presented in the State of the State today, I believe we can begin moving our state forward in the right direction.
