Assemblywoman Jodi Giglio (R,C,I-Riverhead) joined her colleagues in the Assembly and Senate Minority Conferences to call on the governor to end the state of emergency in New York. Giglio and her fellow legislators are adamant that the danger has passed. The vaccine has been rolled out in sufficient numbers and now is the time to open back up.

“It’s finally time to get New York state off of life-support,” Giglio said. “We’ve had a successful vaccine rollout and we’ve complied with the regulations. Our children need a care-free summer, our businesses should be fully open and we have all earned a well-deserved respite. It’s time to go back to normal. Repeal the state of emergency.”
