State Government Update

NYS Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner, a member of our club, was the speaker at this morning's Zoom meeting.
While the coronavirus health crisis has now passed, she said, and the Capital Region is starting to reopen, large fiscal problems have yet to be addressed.
Uncertainty remains about whether there will be a second wave of infections, but there is also hope for effective treatments and vaccine. On the fiscal front, federal aid may alleviate the state's plight. One of the issues she is working on is strengthening the local elements of the food supply chain.
Carrie hopes the state Legislature will come back into session to provide more vetting of government decisions.
 "I am hopeful, but I don't minimize the challenges in front of us," she said.
