Never underestimate the ability of Congress to screw up a sure thing.

This agreement with the United University Professions is good for both the hard-working faculty and professionals of SUNY and for the taxpayers of New York State.

I think we’ll get it done, but there are some strong personalities involved.

We worked to fund this $6.6 million contract, which secures the future of Vorbeck’s operations in North Dakota and contributes to the growth of our high-tech ecosystem.
