Committee appointments announced for assemblyman

Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,I,C-Batavia) will continue to serve as the Ranking Minority Member on the Social Services Committee for the 2007 legislative session and has retained membership with the committees on Agriculture and Aging. He has also been appointed to the Veterans' Affairs, Economic Development and Transportation Committees.

"The new legislative session brings opportunity to work across party lines for the betterment of all New Yorkers," said Hawley. "As Western New Yorkers, we face many challenges in bringing new jobs to the region, lowering taxes, and caring for the elderly. My committee membership allows me to work on these issues directly, guaranteeing that the people in our community are heard in these important committees."
