I'm hearing from constituents who are stunned by what they're having to spend at the pumps. Most other expenses were already on the rise, so we're all feeling the pinch. I want to help:

#LP6Contest On April 7th, 2021, Police Officer Zachariah Fierle responded to a fight involving two females, one of which was in possession of a knife.

Today, I stand with the Veterans One-stop Center of WNY, Erie County Veterans Service Agency, and my colleague, NYS Assemblyman William Conrad, to call on the Legislature to pass funding and legislation to improve veterans' services in New York.

Specifically, we're calling for $7.7 million (an over 50% increase) for the PFC Joseph P. Dwyer Peer Support Program and for the passage of legislation to elevate the New York State Division of Veterans' Services to an executive department.

These resources and policies will help veterans transition to civilian life and ensure that veterans' services are accessible to all New Yorkers who served.

Veterans in New York have earned the best services that we can provide, and I extend my deepest gratitude to those who risked life and limb in defense of our nation.

This morning I joined colleagues in supporting the State's divestment of the retirement fund from companies with Russian ties. New Yorkers join the global community in condemning Putin's brutal attack on #Ukraine, the beloved native country of so many of our neighbors, especially here in WNY. A heartfelt thank-you to the Ukrainian-American Civic Center (Narodnij Dim) for welcoming us to voice our solidarity with Ukraine.

In honor of this #WomensHistoryMonth, throughout March my office will be accepting nominations for the Women of Distinction Awards, to be presented this spring.

I'd love to see your noms for the women who have gone above and beyond to support and improve our community. Only criteria? They can't be current elected officeholders, and they must live in the 140th District (the Town, Kenmore, the Twin Cities or Riverside/Black Rock).

Next stop for our mobile office: NWBCC, Riverside. And we've added new dates, for North Tonawanda City Hall and the City of Tonawanda Public Library.

Town of Tonawanda announces new plans for Huntley site

In his State of the Town address yesterday, Supervisor Joe Emminger announced Tonawanda will restart the eminent domain process for NRG's former Huntley site - and I fully support the town in this effort to keep things moving there. Six years since the plant's closure, it's time that property be returned to a productive use that's good for our economy, our environment and our community.

TOWN OF TONAWANDA, N.Y. (WIVB) — Town of Tonawanda Supervisor Joe Emminger has big plans for the Huntley Plant on River Road. During his State of the Town address, Emminger announced the town…

I joined my colleagues in government today at Christine's Childcare, where we advocated for increased State investment in child care. Child care is critical infrastructure, but its availability and affordability are threatened by the market's undervaluing of the service - paltry wages have led to a shortage of child care workers - and underfunded subsidies for working families. Quality child care boosts our economy by allowing parents, women especially, to stay in the workforce, and it promotes kids' cognitive development, literacy skills and social wellness, which brings benefits well into adulthood. Thank you to Assemblymember Monica Wallace for bringing us together, and to Assemblywoman Karen McMahon, Buffalo Niagara Partnership, Cornell ILR Buffalo Co-Lab and our friends from Erie County government for joining this call for support.

Last week, I wrote to our State and County executives with an idea: In their stadium negotiations with Buffalo Bills ownership, they ought to push for the team's adoption of "fan-first" concession pricing. The Falcons opened Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 2017 with drastically reduced food and beverage costs ($3 pizza!). Concession sales skyrocketed, and other teams have since followed suit. If a new stadium is going to be built using public money, this is a tangible way to show appreciation for #BillsMafia, the most loyal fandom in the league!

Had the opportunity during this morning's joint budget hearing on Economic Development to ask Empire State Development President Hope Knight about the State's attention to mid-tier companies with New York roots and high growth potential. I will always push for an "economic gardening" approach - that is, supporting homegrown entrepreneurs in their efforts to build our base and create and sustain good local jobs.
