Assemblyman Brian Kolb Reports To You |
“2005 has been a good year in New York. We’ve done so much to better the state, but there’s more to be done. I’m committed to helping New York become the absolute best it can be.” |
New York state government experienced a good year in 2005. The state Legislature passed an on-time budget for the first time in 21 years, and strengthened laws against drug dealers, distributors and producers. It made decisions that will improve the state’s commerce and business climate, and made progress in improving New York’s economy. As legislators pass budgets and big statewide bills, we sometimes forget the smaller issues and bills that affect local residents. It’s also the smaller pieces of legislation, as a collective whole, that help shape the direction of our great state. I’m taking this opportunity to share some of the initiatives from the 2005 legislative session that directly or indirectly affect you. By working closely with my Assembly minority colleagues and the Assembly majority, as well as our counterparts in the Senate and governor’s office, we have made great strides toward a better, stronger New York. If you have questions or concerns about the information, or any other matter, feel free to contact me at any time.
