Peekskill, NY -- County Legislator and Board Vice Chairman Michael B. Kaplowitz (D-I-WF, Somers), joined by angry local residents and business owners, held a press conference today outside the Westchester County’s Department of Social Services Building on Washington St. in Peekskill. The purpose of the press conference was to present a year-end ‘report card’ on the performance of the NY State Senate.
“The cost of the State Senate’s immaturity and inaction is going to translate to real dollars for the taxpayers of Westchester County in an already struggling economy,” said Kaplowitz, the immediate past chair and current member of the County Board’s Budget & Appropriations Committee.
According to Kaplowitz, it is appropriate that the NY State Senate receive a report card, similar to students, at the end of the year’s legislative session. Given the stalemate in Albany, and the incomplete assignment of doing the people’s business, it is no surprise that Kaplowitz gave the dueling state lawmakers a big, fat ‘F’.
“Passing these bills is serious business – the people’s business – and our state senators must stop this madness and get back to work,” stated the democratic county lawmaker. “Just like in school, if you don’t complete the assigned work within the scheduled school year – or in this case, legislative term – then you must go to summer school,” continued Kaplowitz.
“Enough is enough. The taxpayers are relying on their state representatives to discharge their duties and bring the relief they promised to Westchester County residents. They can fight and play games on their own time,” he concluded.
