Assemblyman Brian Manktelow (R,C,I,Ref-Lyons) joined his colleagues with the Assembly today for a press conference releasing the Assembly Minority Task Force on Critical Infrastructure and Transportation’s report NEW YORK’S INFRASTRUCTURE: A Report on Fortifying Our Roads, Bridges and Water Systems.

“The roads, bridges and infrastructure of upstate New York are long overdue for some tender loving care. The report compiled by the Assembly Minority Task Force on Critical Infrastructure and Transportation is spot on in identifying the needs of communities in the upstate New York region. Our bridges are in disrepair, our roads are filled with giant potholes and our infrastructure as a whole has been seriously neglected. It’s high time we come together as legislators to treat this issue across all of New York equally. As I’ve said a thousand times before, upstate matters.”
