In an effort to more effectively advocate for the needs and concerns of their constituents, the five New York senators representing Westchester County will convene a public hearing to assess the priorities and impacts of Governor Paterson’s proposed SFY 2010-2011 budget on the residents, communities, organizations and elected officials of Westchester.  Senator Suzi Oppenheimer chairs the Westchester Senate delegation, which includes Senators Ruth Hassell-Thompson, Jeff Klein, Vincent Leibell, and Andrea Stewart-Cousins.

The hearing will be held on Friday, March 19, 2010, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Greenburgh Town Hall, 177 Hillside Avenue, Greenburgh, NY.

Persons who wish to testify at the hearing should contact Katie Kincaid of Senator Oppenheimer’s office as soon as possible, but no later than Tuesday, March 16th.  Ms. Kincaid can be reached by phone at (914) 934-5250, or by email, Kincaid.nysenate@gmail.com.  The senators also encourage the submission of written testimony, which will be fully considered by the delegation and be made part of the record of the hearing.  Written testimony may be emailed as an attachment in any common format to the Westchester Senate Delegation in care of Katie Kincaid, Kincaid.nysenate@gmail.com.

“Given the tough economic times our State continues to face, your input on key matters affecting our region is more vital than ever,” said Senator Oppenheimer.  “I urge you to attend the March 19 hearing to make your voice heard and to help us protect and preserve all that we value most in Westchester County.”
