Salka, Oberacker denounce
Hochul veto of Oneonta bill
STAFF REPORT • Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com
State Sen. Peter Oberacker, R-Schenevus, and Assemblyman John Salka, R-Brookfield, issued a criticism Monday, Oct. 11, of Gov. Kathy Hochul's veto of legislation to assist the Oneonta City School District and local taxpayers.
According to the media release, Hochul vetoed the bill Friday, Oct. 8.
“While bragging about her first 45 days in office, Gov. Hochul took time out to skewer the Oneonta City School District and local taxpayers," Oberacker said in the media release. "Vetoing commonsense legislation, that received unanimous approval by both the senate and assembly, is clear evidence that our new governor fails to recognize the difficult financial situation Oneonta and many other school districts across our state face."
“It was an honor to work with our freshman senator on a bill that would have given relief to the Oneonta school district and the taxpayers of the city," Salka said in the media release. "It is unfortunate that this governor would rather play politics than address real problems facing our education communities in Upstate New York.”
