"As a strong supporter of our cultural institutions, I am pleased to meet with wonderful organizations like the Coalition of Living Museums," said Senator Serrano. "These living museums, zoos, and botanical gardens do so much to enrich our lives both spiritually and academically here in the State of New York. In addition, they are also a major economic engine. I will work diligently to ensure that our living museums and other cultural institutions are provided for in the State budget."
