Our May 6 meeting with Congressman Tonko went well. The larger-than-usual crowd, at Panera or on Zoom, included Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner and four out of the five current members of the Malta Town Board.
This week, on Thursday May 20, our temporary location will move back to Shenantaha Creek Park, where you can find us at 7:15 a.m. -- or on Zoom.
Tonko has represented Malta (part of his much larger district) in Congress since 2009. Before that, he headed the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, which had a large presence in Malta and still owns facilities here.
From 1983 to 2007, Tonko was a member of the New York State Assembly, and before that was on the Montgomery County Board of Supervisors. He has a degree from Clarkson University in mechanical and industrial engineering.
The congressman is expected to discuss mostly local issues.
