.@SenatorFunke on the anti-Farming agenda that has spread under One-Party Rule in Albany -> What happens when you have three days of rain? What happens when you have a bad crop? We need to study the impact of this law before we do anything else. #NoFarmsNoFood

As part of our effort to increase flood resiliency on Lake Ontario, @NYGovCuomo announced $2.6M project at Irondequoit Bay. The boat launch and storm sewer upgrades are critical for public safety and tourism. @daveseeley430 @RepJoeMorelle @SenatorFunke governor.ny.gov/news/governo…

Today, @NYSenDems unanimously rejected a truly independent investigation of the mandate for nursing homes to take COVID patients, apparently out of fear of offending the Governor. Grieving families — and all New Yorkers — deserve answers. We will continue to fight for them.

If this is what the results are of them working 24-7 I'd hate to see what a typical 8 hour day looks like. And one correction I'm not cheap. I prefer thrifty

Saturday at noon @news10nbc will re-air the first ever @RocRedWings game from Frontier Field. Rich Funke called the game that night and I recently caught up with him to hear how important that night was.... great things happen when stations have full sports departments.

We have been watching the situation in New York City and we have an increase in cases, hospitalizations and deaths in other parts of New York. Taking our ventilators by force leaves people without protection and hospitals unable to save lives today or respond to a coming surge.

Taking up any issue that further burdens NY businesses at this time is especially careless. Thank you for your opposition to this @SenatorFunke.
