Hi everyone,
There will be two interpreters provided at George Maziarz’s Town hall meeting for those who live in City of Rochester, Town of Gates and Town of Ogden.
I will be there and it would be a great time for you to come and tell George of issues that are happening in the deaf community. Hope you can join us!
More information about time, place and location can be found below…
Thank you,
Dean DeRusso
Dear Friend,
I talk with constituents on a daily basis and go to a wide variety of meetings and events, but I wanted to create a special forum for people to come and talk about anything on their mind relating to state government.
So I’ve decided to host open meeting with constituents this coming weekend to talk about the challenges facing the state, gather suggestions to take back to Albany, and answer questions.
The meeting will be held on Saturday, November 7 from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM at the Italian-American Sports Club, located at 1250 Buffalo Road in Gates. A continental breakfast with coffee and juice will be available. This meeting is intended for my constituents in the City of Rochester, Town of Gates, and Town of Ogden.
My goal with these meeting is to bring constituents and community leaders together to talk about our challenges and our future. I value everyone’s input as it helps me better represent the district in Albany.
*RSVPs can be made by calling my satellite office on the SUNY Brockport campus at (585) 637-5800, or by e-mailing me at maziarz@senate.state.ny.us.
Thank you and hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
George Maziarz

| Merged Senate Health Reform Bill Must Keep CFC and CLASS |
|
| This week the Senate Finance and the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committees are merging their separate healthcare reform bills into one single bill that will go to the Senate floor to be debated as early as next week. Two critical provisions that change the way long term services are delivered and funded for people with disabilities and seniors are included. These two provisions complement one another and must be a part of the final Senate bill!The Finance Committee bill includes the Community First Choice (CFC) Medicaid Option. The Health Education Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee’s bill includes the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports Act (CLASS) Act. We need both of these provisions in the final bill. Please “Take Action” today by clicking to send a letter to your Senators. Feel free to edit the letter to include your personal thoughts on the importance of the CFC Option and CLASS Act. |
