At Canalside Friday, Senator Ortt joined his Western New York colleagues in the State Legislature and the FAIR Committee of WNY (Fair Apportionment of Infrastructure Revenues) to address the inequality in upstate versus downstate funding for roads, bridges and public transportation. They joined forces to call on Governor Cuomo for parity in infrastructure funding. Senator Ortt said, “We need reliable infrastructure to stimulate the economy, create jobs and protect future generations.”
