The engine of a local economy depends on small businesses being able to make a living, workers being paid, and consumers being able to afford things like a meal in a restaurant.

Sysco Corporation's proposed $29-billion acquisition of Restaurant Depot threatens to break that engine.

Restaurant Depot runs more than 160 warehouses, including one in my district, offering a lower cost cash-and-carry option for small restaurants and food-service operators in the area.

In this uncertain economy, local businesses are already dealing with intensifying inflation and arbitrary tariffs. This acquisition would allow a large corporation to set prices free of local competition, driving up costs for already cash-strapped small businesses and their customers.

That's why I've urged New York State Attorney General Letitia James to investigate this acquisition, and to join with other state attorneys general to fight it.

Little Water charter school in Poughkeepsie is on probation for violations in its financial reports.

But all you need to know is that charter schools funnel money away from public schools, without holding to the same level of standards or oversight.

That's why I called for this school's closure during a recent public hearing.

This failed experiment has taken more than $10 million from the Poughkeepsie City School District. It’s time to end this waste of taxpayer money.

The only thing worse than being turned down for a job is wasting time applying for a job that doesn't actually exist.

I'm talking about ghost jobs β€” listings for jobs that employers don't intend to fill.

Ghost job listings are everywhere, frustrating job seekers and making it harder to get a clear picture of the labor market.

That's why I wrote a bill that requires job listings to clearly state when a position is being filled or if the listing is just meant to collect resumes. Violators would be fined $2,500 for each publication of an advertisement, the fine doubling every 30 days.

Looking for work is hard enough. It's time for companies to be transparent about the opportunities they're advertising. That's why I'll be working to get support for this bill in the coming Legislative Session.

I was thrilled to present City of Poughkeepsie Youth Football with $40,000 in funding secured for their flag football program 🏈

Supporting programs like this means more opportunity for young people to stay active and do what they love.

Thank you to the City of Poughkeepsie Youth Football League and everyone who helps make this great program possible. Money well-spent!
