Next week the legislature will return from their two week break. The League will be kicking off the week with a press conference highlighting the need for ethics reforms in New York State.

We've stayed busy during this break, strategizing with our partners and planning next steps. We are looking forward to the last 10 weeks of session and are remaining hopeful that something related to voting or ethics will pass before summer recess.

We have scheduled our annual lobby day for Tuesday, April 24th. Lobby day is an opportunity for members to meet with their legislators in Albany. We will have presentations from our Issues Specialist and Legislative Director. If you are interested in attending sign up here!
