Senator O'Mara shares his weekly perspective on issues facing New York State government.

All of the challenges and crises being addressed by this budget are worthy in their own rights. Nevertheless, there may not be a priority more important than last week’s Senate-Assembly agreement to include $45 million to compensate direct service professionals (DSPs) for their work supporting people with disabilities.

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, "The 'BFair2DirectCare' campaign gains momentum"
