Revised Version of Bill Seeks to Help Out-of-Work Residents Find Jobs as Part of Assembly Democratic Job Creation Effort

The Assembly Democratic legislation is sponsored by Speaker Sheila Y. Oliver, Majority Leader Lou Greenwald, Budget Chairman Vincent Prieto, Deputy Speaker John Wisniewski, Connie Wagner, Wayne DeAngelo and Paul Moriarty.

It’s a true win-win for everyone..."

Quote of the day
