Senator Calls For ‘Commonsense,’

Balancing Health Needs, Business

ONEONTA – State Sen. Jim Seward, R-Milford, issued a statement a few minutes ago supporting the Senate GOP caucus in asking Governor Cuomo to, within a week, provide data so the state’s economic regions can work toward meeting CDC’s Phase 1 standards to restart businesses.

Already, Seward said, the governor is hearing the caucus' calls "to begin a responsible, regional re-opening of New York."

These assessments must be released to the public so that parts of the state can begin to recover from the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic in a safe way, he said, adding that Cuomo must include the state Department of Health, local departments of health, local officials, local businesses, and industry leaders in this process.
