Heavy hearts for Syracuse Police Department and Onondaga Co. Sheriff for the loss of their brave police officers.

Please read, and share, and share again.

Violent crime went up under Trump and has come way down under Biden.

Every day, Ukraine is losing its people, its territory, its electricity. I ask Congress to vote now on Ukraine aid. It’s vital to US interests that Russia is stopped from taking a country of 40M by force. We lived this history in Europe before & we know the cost of failing to act

Tried my hand at a goodbye message to outgoing New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Basil Seggos🇺🇸🇺🇦.

All told, New York State has awarded $1.46 BILLION in grants and low/no interest loans for local water infrastructure projects thus far in 2024-- and it isn't even May! 🌊👷‍♂️🧱

Congrats to NYS Environmental Facilities Corporation New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation NYS Department of State and NYSDOH for operationalizing Governor Kathy Hochul's vision.

Congrats to my alma mater Pace | Haub Environmental Law! Proud of the work that they're doing to prepare the nation's best environmental lawyers (and making us alums look good!).

Thank you Michael Regan, U.S. EPA for your outstanding leadership on #PFAS . The journey to control these emerging contaminants began in North Carolina and Hoosick Falls, New York many years ago. Now, @EPA has taken a massive step to protect the health of all Americans. Bravo!

.New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation is already so fortunate to have Sean Mahar. He has been an extraordinary leader at the agency for many years, and is so well-positioned to step in as Interim Commish. Do us proud, my friend!

Big update from the Big Apple yesterday. This one with a twist: fully sealed by a hard chocolate shell. 🤔

Just to be clear, the #BlackAndWhite epic series will continue well into my post-New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation life.

Sean Mahar is an all-around great person and even better public servant. Solid choice for Interim Commissioner for DEC!

Hochul administration moves today:

Robert Rodriguez will lead Dormitory Authority

Sean Mahar taking over as interim DEC commish

And the @WashingtonPost has seen the documents that prove it >>>

Still feeling the euphoria from yesterday’s #eclipse up on the St Lawrence River. Honestly, I did not expect it to be as powerful and surreal as it was. See you in 2099!
