My thanks to NYS Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli for his report detailing the ongoing broadband challenges facing our state.
One million New Yorkers still lack access to high-speed internet. We need to make broadband a utility to expand access to everyone.
One million New Yorkers, or about 14 percent of the population, still have no broadband...

Why bulldoze trees and pave green space for a new outdoor event venue, when one is already being built at RCW Park? This plan wastes scarce NYPA resettlement funds and should be scrapped.

WNY is fortunate to have organizations like People Inc. and Evergreen Health who work tirelessly to meet the healthcare needs of underserved populations.
Joined today's ribbon cutting for their new one-stop healthcare center on Hertel Avenue. A great asset for the community!

Yup, that's me! With my mask in my hand, about to put it back on 😷
Anyway, 16-1 is still on the table, and at least it didn't rain. Go Bills!
Hey State Senator Sean Ryan, why do you and Governor Kathy Hochul make our kids wear masks all day in school when you won’t even wear one while buying beer at the Bills game in a crowded concourse? Even though it’s the county’s regulation? Does that rule not apply to powerful, big shot Senators?
20 years later, we remember the lives lost, including the heroic first responders who ran toward danger on 9/11.
Joined today's remembrance ceremony in the Town of Hamburg 🇺🇲 #NeverForget
Joined Hamburg Schools Superintendent Mike Cornell to welcome students back to school at Armor Elementary this morning.
Great to see kids back in the classroom. Looking forward to a productive and safe year ahead 🍎✏📓🧑🏫
While Texas works to deny access to the ballot box, New York will continue to ensure all our citizens can exercise their fundamental right to vote.
We need Congress to act to protect all Americans from efforts to roll back voting rights progress.
TYLER, Texas (AP) — Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed an elections overhaul into law Tuesday that adds more voting restrictions in the booming state, after Democrats spent months protesting …

A great Buffalo welcome home for Governor Kathy Hochul at the annual Labor Day parade!
The Governor signed a package of legislation to protect worker's rights as we honor the labor movement on this important day.
Stopped by 1199 SEIU in Buffalo to drop off supplies as they prepared for today's school backpack giveaway with West District School Board member Jennifer Mecozzi.
Visit PS 18 at 750 West Avenue from 12-3pm to pick up free school supplies 🖍🗒📏🖌✏
This week the legislature passed changes to the Emergency Rental Assistance Program to protect tenants in need and ensure money goes out to landlords who need it.

Great popcorn and a great local business! 🍿
The Cuomo administration failed to properly administer the COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program, and that failure has exacerbated pandemic-related problems for landlords and tenants across New York.
Yesterday we took action to address the concerns we have heard consistently from landlords, while continuing to protect vulnerable populations who have experienced devastating effects of the pandemic.
Landlords will now be able to evict tenants who are a nuisance or who cause property damage. In addition, landlords can now challenge a hardship declaration in court if they believe a tenant is lying about a pandemic-related hardship.
As we continue to address the impact of the pandemic, it's a good time for a reminder that we have a vaccine that is safe, effective, and free. Get vaccinated so we can finally end this pandemic.
State lawmakers renew and rework tenant relief to fit a Supreme Court decision won by property owners — cheering advocates but drawing threats of further legal action.
Unions built the middle class and shaped the society we live in today. Our economy is stronger when workers are empowered.
Proud to stand in solidarity with SBWorkersUnited in their pursuit of a fair and equitable workplace.
In a news release, the workers said they want to hold union elections at three stores: on Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo, Camp Road in Hamburg and Genesee Street in Cheektowaga.

The soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice put their lives on the line to help evacuate Americans and Afghan allies who assisted our military during the last two decades.
They are truly heroes, and we will never forget their service and sacrifice.
The Biden administration previously warned that the Islamic State poses a threat to the evacuation mission.
Congratulations to my colleague in the State Senate, Senator Brian Benjamin, on being selected as New York’s next Lieutenant Governor.
He has accomplished important things during his time in the Senate, and I am confident that he will continue to do so working alongside Governor Kathy Hochul.
Gov. Kathy Hochul on Thursday introduced Brian Benjamin as her choice for lieutenant governor. "New York state government has to work," he said.
Buffalo is one of 19 cities approved to resettle Special Immigrant Visa holders.
We know Afghan allies who helped us throughout the last 20 years as well as other refugees are on their way. Thanks to our state investment in resettlement, Buffalo is ready to welcome them.

I support Governor Hochul’s decision to follow CDC recommendations and institute a universal masking mandate in New York schools.
It is important that we take steps to ensure that New York’s children can safely resume in-person learning.
It was her first statewide address since becoming governor.
Congratulations to the 57th Governor of the State of New York, Governor Kathy Hochul.
We face many challenges in the weeks and months ahead. I know Governor Hochul is prepared and will work tirelessly on behalf of the people of our state. Wishing her well at this historic moment.
Ms. Hochul, who succeeds Andrew M. Cuomo after his resignation, has vowed to usher in a new era of civility and consensus in state government.
The Pfizer vaccine is now fully FDA approved.
If you haven't already, it's time to get vaccinated to help end this pandemic. The vaccine is safe and effective. Get vaccinated today.
Experts praised the decision, saying approval could help ease some vaccine hesitancy and pave the way for more vaccination mandates.
It's the final day for The Erie County Fair!
Two new food options this year - the dill pickle pizza and the pilgrim sundae 🍕🦃
Which one are you getting?
Welcomed New York State Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Senator Michelle Hinchey to WNY to tour Providence Farm Collective in Orchard Park.
This group supports underserved farmers - including refugees and immigrants - with access to farmland, education, and markets. A great way to keep WNY growing 🥕🥬🍅
Addressing food insecurity is vitally important to ensure children and families have access to nutritious foods.
Joined West Side Community Services to open the new Provisions 139 food pantry on Vermont St. in Buffalo. An important resource for the community.

Good example of how vaccines work. The Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago required proof of vaccination this year.
Out of nearly 400,000 attendees, just 203 tested positive for COVID - and none of the cases resulted in hospitalization or death. Vaccines work. Get vaccinated to keep yourself and your community safe.
Chicago’s top doctor said the city’s recent music festival, Lollapalooza, was not a superspreader event.
Buffalo's West Side is home to vibrant and diverse culture, and the West Side Bazaar has been an important resource for the community.
Joined officials as Westminster Economic Development Initiative (WEDI) announced funding plans for the new home of the bazaar on Niagara Street. Can't wait until opening day!
When it comes to our waterfront, let's focus on what the public wants. The public wanted a large outdoor event space at the Ralph C. Wilson Jr Centennial Park, and a quieter, simpler Outer Harbor that features trails and green space.
There is no need for a competing Outer Harbor amphitheater. Urging ECHDC to work with the Wilson Foundation to save taxpayer money.

After decades of population loss, the City of Buffalo is growing once again thanks in large part to our state programs to support refugees and immigrants arriving from around the world.
Buffalo's new residents are starting businesses, creating jobs, and diversifying our economy. Our diversity is our strength in the New Buffalo.
The region’s gains – driven entirely by residents of color, many likely refugees and immigrants – appeared to vindicate local political leaders who have championed immigration as a means for
The Buffalo History Museum is an iconic part of the story of the City of Buffalo and WNY.
This week, I joined the celebration as the $2M restoration of the portico was finally revealed. Proud to have secured state funds for this great project. Thanks to all who made it happen.
The Governor’s resignation announcement was a welcome and necessary step. The women who came forward to tell their stories should be commended.
Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul needs our support during this difficult moment. I know she is ready to lead, and deliver for the people of New York.
The Governor’s impending resignation sends a strong message that sexual harassment will never be tolerated, regardless of the level of influence an individual holds. I once again commend the women who have bravely come forward to tell the truth about what happened.
It is time for New York State to move forward. I join my fellow New Yorkers in wishing Lieutenant Governor Hochul all the best as she takes office as Governor in the coming days. I have no doubt that she will effectively lead our state forward and deliver results for the people of New York.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said he would step down in 14 days, after a searing investigation found he had sexually harassed nearly a dozen women.

This week's legislative session will most likely be the last of 2020 - and the last time I come to the floor to pass bills as a member of the NYS Assembly. I thanked my colleagues and Assembly staff, and reflected on the last 9 years. Looking forward to the journey ahead!
Small businesses are the cornerstone of our communities. The Hertel Business Association started their #northbuffalostrong campaign to support their small business owners during the pandemic. As we begin to reopen and see the light at the end of the tunnel, this is a great example of how we can help our neighbors get back on their feet.
Every week, over 6,600 meals are distributed from the Hamburg Central School District - Hamburg, NY to students throughout the community. Thanks to the teachers and volunteers who are stepping up. It's a tough time, but I appreciate the hard work to make sure our kids get the nutrition they need 🍎
In the last few months we have all taken the time to celebrate the heroes in our communities who put their lives on the line for all of us. On Memorial Day, we honor the soldiers who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. We must never forget 🇺🇲

May is National Bike Month 🚴 As the weather is getting nicer, we are all clamoring to get outside and enjoy a nice bike ride. Buffalo Bike Tours has created an app where you can ride and listen to tours highlighting stories of WNY. Check them out at BuffaloBikeTours.com
Restaurants like Butera's Craft Beer & Craft Pizzas in Hamburg are thinking creatively and continuing to serve the community (with great locally made pizza and beer🍕🍺) You can support neighborhood businesses during this time by calling in your order and doing curbside pick up 🚗
As we continue to mark #NationalNursesWeek, I spoke with Ron from West Seneca who has been an RN for 14 years. He stepped up to help our fellow New Yorkers in NYC in the COVID-19 fight, caring for patients at NYU Langone. Our nurses are amazing, and Buffalo is truly the City of good neighbors.
Mother's Day is this Sunday, and places like Hess Brothers Florist of Hamburg, Inc. are operating with limited staff, offering no-contact delivery and curbside pickup. A great way to stay socially distant and support our local businesses.
