May We Never Forget 🇺🇸

On this day June 6th 1944, the Allied Forces landed on the beaches of Normandy – a turning point in World War II and one of the greatest military operations in our nation’s history. Today, we honor those who lost their lives in the name of freedom.

It’s officially the first day of the Corning Farmers Market season!

We’re here with fresh cheese curds, aged cheddars, yogurt, and all the dairy goodness we’ve been busy making here at the creamery.

If you’re out enjoying the market this morning, stop by and say hello. Whether you’re stocking up on your favorites or trying something new, we’d love to see you.

10-2 every Thursday!

🛑 Need we say more? NY already has protections against political partisan gerrymandering. Now they want to destroy those laws and redraw congressional maps to have complete one party political rule.

That's awesome, Steve 👏🏻

Well deserved!

Albany Democrats now want to destroy our pristine waterways. Through S.4571B their Green New Scam would subsidize “floating solar” on open water. Our Conference will continue fighting bad policy such as this to keep our waterways open, clean, and accessible to everyone.

If you think these rates aren't going up to near the requested increase right after election day raise your hand, I've got a bridge to sell you.

"Regulators stressed the temporary rates are significantly lower than what the utilities originally requested and do not determine the outcome of the broader rate proceedings... some customers could see bills rise by as much as $50 per month under the permanent rate proposal currently being reviewed by state regulators."

🚨It increases spending by at least $14 billion over last year, meaning that spending under all-Democrat control in this state since 2019 has increased by 55%, or nearly $100 billion.

🚨It increases Medicaid spending alone by $11 billion or roughly 8.5%. But that's nothing new in New York. Medicaid spending now gobbles up nearly one-half of the entire state budget. Nearly one-half. Under Governor Hochul and this all-Democrat Legislature, state spending on Medicaid has increased 90%.

🚨It does nothing meaningful or permanent to alleviate the fears of ratepayers who already can't afford the ever-escalating costs of energy in this state. It merely kicks the can a few years down the road.

🚨This fiscal recklessness jeopardizes the future of individual New Yorkers and their families, as well as the future strength of this state as a whole.

🚨It acts like New York taxpayers and families shouldn't have a care in the world in the face of the worst affordability crisis they have ever faced. It's a budget built on bailouts and giveaways to special interests and favored constituencies that everyday taxpayers will never be able to afford.

🚨It acts like the need to cut taxes, eliminate unfunded mandates, restrain overregulation, reduce debt and control borrowing, make this state more economically competitive, and other commonsense fiscal and economic practices will never again be priorities.
