Buffalo, NY - Senator Mike Ranzenhofer joined members of the Western New York Legislative Delegation and the FAIR Committee (Fair Apportionment of Infrastructure Revenues) to highlight the growing disparity in state funding of infrastructure and transportation needs that has developed between New York City and Upstate New York.
Senator Ranzenhofer is pushing for a major investment in Upstate's infrastructure after Governor Cuomo agreed to send billions of dollars to downstate's Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
"Governor Cuomo's budget proposal shortchanges Upstate New York’s roads and bridges by $6 billion, resulting in more state dollars going to downstate’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority. That is why I am fighting for true parity of transportation funding. I commend FAIR for joining me in calling on New York State to end funding inequity by investing billions to address Upstate's serious transportation needs," said Ranzenhofer.
