Several state lawmakers from the Southern Tier have called on Governor Kathy Hochul to enhance New York's relief efforts following Tropical Storm Debby. In letters sent earlier this week, State Senator Tom O’Mara, Assemblyman Phil Palmesano, Assemblywoman Marjorie Byrnes, and Assemblyman Joe Giglio urged the governor to ensure that the state covers local disaster-related costs, extend the application deadline for state aid, eliminate income thresholds for primary residences to qualify for aid, and allow business owners to apply for state assistance.
