Smullen Calls for More Funding of Local Roads

March 3, 2021

Assemblyman Robert Smullen (R,C,I,SAM-Meco) joined colleagues from the Assembly and Senate today calling on Gov. Cuomo and the Legislature to redirect funds and increase the budget for spending on local roads, bridges and culverts. Smullen knows that letting our roads crumble is something the state can’t afford to do.

“We need to support our local Highway superintendents so they can do their jobs as our people elected them to,” Smullen said. “It is of paramount importance that we invest in increased funding for our local roads. Roads are the backbone of civilization in every way, and we need to ensure their care and maintenance is not overlooked in the budget.”
