NYS Senator Dean Murray's comments on recent Senate Confirmations

The New York State Senate's nomination process is broken! Confirmation of 45 nominees for positions of leadership in New York State government was taken up by the Senate. We are supposed to vote on each nominee, but they put all the nominations together in one vote. This is not how the procedures of the Senate are supposed to work. To vote "Yes" would have been a disservice to the people that elected me. My vote was a hard "No"!
