Assemblyman Blankenbush Advises Constituents Of Rescheduled Town Hall Meeting

Due to Primary Day, my town hall meeting with Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb has been rescheduled for Monday, October 17 from 6:30 - 8 pm. The location has also changed to the Lowville Municipal Building, 5535 Bostwick St., Lowville.

For the first time in a long time, the Albany bureaucrats listened – and New York has an on-time State Budget. The enacted spending plan was far from perfect – it involved tough, painful choices that began a long overdue process of reforming Albany’s tax-and-spend culture.

However, the important work of fixing state government – and changing how Albany does the people’s business – is far from finished. State government has miles to go before we can truly say New York is back on track and headed in the right direction.

We still have the second-highest combined state and local tax burden in the nation. Our homeowners still pay the highest property taxes in America. Nearly 800,000 New Yorkers are still unemployed. State government is still too big, too costly, and too bureaucratic. Bottom line? There is still much work that needs to be done.

Do you want to keep New York State moving in the right direction?

If your answer to that question is “Yes!” then please join me and Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb at a Town Hall meeting on Monday, October 17, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Lowville Municipal Building, 5535 Bostwick St. in Lowville. We will be having an important conversation about the “People’s Convention to Reform New York”, a non-partisan grassroots reform effort that will benefit taxpayers like you.

Seating is limited, so RSVP for this Town Hall today by calling Kathleen Lisson in the Assembly Minority Office of Public Affairs at (518) 455-5073. Then visit www.reformny.org to join nearly 2,500 New Yorkers who support a “People’s Convention.”

I look forward to seeing you on Monday, October 17 at this special Town Hall meeting. Together, we will move another step closer to the less costly, more affordable New York State we deserve!

If you cannot attend this special Town Hall Meeting, then feel free to contact me at my district office, 315-493-3909, 15 Bridge Street, West Carthage, or email me at blankenbushk@assembly.state.ny.us.
