Community Update: Budget Update, Korean War Veterans Celebration
Senator Shelley B. Mayer
April 30, 2023
Dear Friends,
It’s been a busy few weeks but it appears we are close to an agreement on a New York State budget. I’m disappointed it’s late, but I’m hoping we vote on the provisions this coming week and move ahead with our legislative business.
Last week, I welcomed Korean War Veterans to our inaugural ceremony in the New York State Senate, thanks to the advocacy of many in my Veterans Advisory Committee. I also sponsored and spoke on the resolution honoring the State of Israel on its 75th Anniversary, welcomed the Education Commissioner to our State Senate Education Committee meeting, and met with numerous advocates in Albany to ensure their voices were heard.
At home, I submitted testimony before the Indian Point Nuclear Decommissioning Oversight Board expressing my opposition to Holtec’s plan to discharge radioactive wastewater in the Hudson River, spoke at the League of Women Voters: Running and Winning program for Westchester high school girls, attended the Witness Stones inaugural project with the students from Holy Child in Rye, danced with the guests at the Holocaust Survivor Celebration of Israel luncheon, and attended numerous other local Earth Day celebrations and events.
As always, if there is anything my office can assist you with, please email me at smayer@nysenate.gov or call (914) 934-5250.
Warm regards,
Shelley B. Mayer
State Senator
37th District
