Ranking Republican On Finance,

Seward’s Other Assignments Made

ONEONTA – In addition to serving as ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, state Sen. Jim Seward, R-Milford, today announced he will also serve on the education, finance, higher education, insurance and rules committees.

As longtime chairman of the Insurance Committee, he said he looks forward to serving there, and in particular on Education and Higher Education, he said.

On the Finance Committee, he said, “I look forward to bringing an Upstate viewpoint to state budget negotiations.  I am already concerned that proposals being discussed in Albany will cost too much and will not reflect the ideals of much of our state.”
