An Open Letter to Our Senators
Dear Senators Schumer and Gillibrand:
We, the Democratic Committees of the GLOW region (Genesee, Livingston, Orleans, and Wyoming Counties), are writing to congratulate you on the successful passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. We are grateful that you successfully fought for the funding New York state needs to helps us retain and create jobs, fund education, and meet our Medicaid needs. We note with special satisfaction the White House projections that this new law will create 7,800 jobs in the the 26th Congressional District, which is the district of the vast majority of our residents. However, we would note that our member of the House, Congressman Chris Lee, was opposed to this bill, despite the many benefits it will bring us. Therefore, we would like to point out how important our federal Senators are to our counties: we have no representation at the state or federal level in the majority other than you. We understand that the relief we get from this new law is due to the efforts of you and your fellow Democrats, and we hope your offices will get the credit for the coming aid we most surely need.
