Pat Ryan: “the Budget Committee has requested a flat budget for the past 8 years.”

I rise today to honor Elder Jim Childs, a pillar of our Kingston community, for his decades of service to St. Clara's Church, to his and my home city of Kingston, and to families across the Hudson Valley. Elder Childs was born and raised…

Hudson Valley farmers keep our community fed, and the harsh weather this year has decimated their crops.

Far too often, small and midsized police departments like ours lack the resources they need.

the fact that zero dollars from this huge, multibillion-dollar plan are going to go to improve service to my constituents is incredibly frustrating, and, I think, a significant public policy failure.
