These vetoes are a reminder: our legislative process demands persistence and perseverance. In New York State, enacting a law requires the cooperation and support of the Senate, Assembly and the Governor. So when Governor Cuomo disagrees, like he’s done here, it means one thing: time to get back to work.
Senator O'Mara offers his weekly perspective on many of the key challenges and issues facing the Legislature, as well as on legislative actions, local initiatives, state programs and policies, and more. Stop back every Monday for Senator O'Mara's latest column "From the Capitol..."
This week, "Governor Cuomo says no to commonsense actions"
