The North Country Chamber recently held its annual legislative breakfast forum with the region’s three New York state representatives. Two are relatively new to their legislative positions, and all discussed the implications of the proposed state budget for the area.
In November, Republican Dan Stec was elected to represent the 45th state Senate district after Betty Little retired after nearly 25 years in the capitol. Senator Stec said the budget needs to weigh public health with a balanced and safe economy. He anticipates an unusual budget year ahead. “It looks like the federal government number is going to be closer to the $15 billion than the $6 billion. I think that’s good news. You know I have some philosophical and some very real concerns over you know is this sustainable? Is this a temporary fix to a systemic problem that we have in Albany? I mean that’s been my opinion since before COVID and then COVID just made matters worse and brought out the challenge

Republicans in New York’s State Senate may have a smaller minority this year than years past less than a third of the chamber but they’re not planning to stay quiet, Senate Republican Leader Rob Ortt told reporters in Albany Tuesday.
Ortt said Republicans, while smaller in numbers, will redouble their strategy this year as a voice of opposition against Democrats while seeking areas to work together with the majority.
“We have a smaller number, but based on experience and talent, they’re going to need all 43 of their members to match the 20 that I have,” Ortt said. “And I intend to show that.”
