Statement from Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan

During and after every major storm to hit our area – like the one that just left 20+ inches of snow over the past weekend – it is important to recognize all the efforts of the men and women who work throughout these storms.

-First responders who put their lives on the line to make sure we are safe.

-Utility workers who leave their families to ensure that our homes have power and heat.

-Snowplow operators who spend countless hours clearing the snow and ice from our streets so we are able to safely travel as soon as possible.

They all deserve our appreciation for all they have done and continue to do to ensure that we are able to resume our daily lives following this massive storm.

Thank you to each and every one of them.
