Assemblyman Driving from Albany to Wellsville to Keep Promise
From the Office of Assemblyman Joe Sempolinski
ALBANY – After voting on the eighth state budget extender today, Assemblyman Joe Sempolinski is driving from Albany to Wellsville to meet with constituents as promised in Wellsville and hold his long-scheduled town hall meeting tonight at 6 p.m.
The Town Hall will be held tonight, Thursday, April 24, from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Wellsville American Legion, Morrison Hayes Post 702, 23 Jefferson Street, Wellsville.
“I’m very grateful I’ll be able to meet with folks in Wellsville tonight, but the only reason I’m able to come back from Albany is because the budget is so fouled up we don’t even have anything to vote on yet. We’re back in session Monday and hopefully we’ll have a budget to consider,” Assemblyman Sempolinski said.
The budget was due April 1. Talks derailed over disagreements between the Democrat majorities in the legislature and the governor. Essential state services have been paid for through budget “extenders.”
“The good news is I’ll be able to meet with people face-to-face so they can share their thoughts and concerns with me and I can talk about what I’m doing in Albany and the legislation I’m working on,” Assemblyman Sempolinski said.
A lifelong resident of the Southern Tier, Assemblyman Sempolinski was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, representing the 23rd Congressional District and served as chief of staff to his predecessor, former Assemblyman Joseph Giglio. Assemblyman Sempolinski was also district director for former U.S. Rep. Tom Reed and was development director for Archbishop Walsh Academy in Olean.
Assemblyman Joe Sempolinski represents the 148th New York Assembly District, which consists of all of Cattaraugus and Allegany counties and portions of Steuben County. For more information, visit Assemblyman Sempolinski’s website.
