Yes!!!!!!
While I am deeply disappointed by the Department of Defense’s decision to return to the Confederate inspired name of Fort Polk, I’m proud to support the proposal to rename Patroon Island Bridge in honor of Sgt. Henry Johnson. He was a true American hero who gave everything for this country, and was tragically denied the recognition he deserved in his lifetime. This bridge renaming is a meaningful way to ensure that his courage and sacrifice are never forgotten.

Thank you very much! I appreciate you all!
The Legislature was honored to recognize the historic achievement of Sheriff @CraigDApplesr, for earning the title of National Sheriff of the Year. We are grateful for his leadership and steadfast commitment to ensuring the safety of our residents and peace in our neighborhoods.
I would say you are both pretty hardworking!
The tradition continues. Whenever I run into @PaulTonko it’s selfie time. He’s the hardest-.working member of Congress. @USHouseNews @USHouseHistory At Women of Excellence luncheon @capregchamber

In an attempt to make our streets safer, by removing illegally operated motorcycles from our streets we held a sweep last night. We seized 10, consisting of dirt bikes, street bikes, and a moped. Not sure when they thought it was legal to ride on sidewalks, ride on one wheel into traffic, not register or insure the bike or just basically take a dump on the entire state vehicle and traffic law but you have our attention. And you fellas hauling your bike into the city, we are looking for you to! More to come. @NYSheriffs
George Penn has been extremely helpful when it came to scouting county locations. We wish him the best!
Today, we celebrated George Penn’s retirement after 26 years of dedicated service, the last eight serving as Director of Operations for the Office of the County Executive. George has shown the highest level of commitment to his work, colleagues, and he will certainly be missed!

I was so honored to present @UAlbany’s highest honor, the Medallion of the University, to my friend and colleague William Kennedy this week. Our university and our city continue to benefit from his legacy as an educator, writer, and founder of the @nyswi.

I always do what @PaulGrondahl tells me!
I think @RebeccaLobo was doing a good job on tonight’s @IowaWBB vs. @lsuwbb game, but there was no call for her cheap put-down: “Good luck finding something to do in Albany.” I could suggest a few dozen things. @discoveralbany @MayorSheehan @capregchamber @LarkStreetBID
