Local pols: Albany wastes too much paper
Vote on Ballot Proposal 2 Nov. 4
Albany wastes too much paper, according to leaders of the Conservative Party, who are urging voters to approve an environmentally-friendly proposal on the Nov. 4 ballot aimed at reducing the glut of paper in the State Capitol.
New York State Conservative Party Chairman Mike Long and Brooklyn Chairman Jerry Kassar are joining forces with Assembly member Nicole Malliotakis (R-C-Bay Ridge-Staten Island) to push for approval of Ballot Proposal 2 on Election Day. The three came together at the Conservative Party’s state headquarters in Bay Ridge on Tuesday to discuss the measure.
The proposal calls for the New York State Constitution to be amended to allow legislation to be voted on by lawmakers in Albany to be distributed electronically rather than printed on paper.
