Stec Advocates for North Country in Budget Q-and-A With DEC Commissioner

Yesterday was the Environmental Conservation budget hearing, and Senator Dan Stec (R,C-Queensbury) used his time to advocate for the North Country with DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos. Stec, the Ranking Minority Senator on the Environmental Conservation Committee, is focused on ensuring this year’s state budget funds essential programs, services and personnel for the Adirondacks. 

“From hiring more forest rangers to funding trail maintenance, there is more we need to do for the Adirondacks in this year’s state budget,” said Stec. “I was glad to have the opportunity to ask Commissioner Seggos about this year’s budget and how we can improve our region. As we work towards a final, enacted budget, I’ll work to ensure our region receives the support it needs to protect and preserve the Adirondacks for years to come.”
