ALBANY, N.Y.—“We welcome the Senate Republican’s decision to elect Senator John Flanagan as the new Majority Leader and look forward to working with him, Governor Cuomo, and Speaker Heastie in enacting pro-business policies that benefit all New Yorkers. Our biggest issue for the rest of session remains making the property tax cap permanent. Having a functioning state Senate is vital to ensuring that gets done,” said Heather C. Briccetti, Esq., president and CEO of The Business Council of New York State.
