Liberty, NY – U.S. Rep. Marc Molinaro (NY-19) released a statement today celebrating the New York State Supreme Court's ruling against New York City's foie gras ban.
“A New York City ban on foie gras would devastate those who can least afford it in Sullivan County – where duck and goose farming account for millions of dollars in economic output. I’ve been fighting alongside our farming community in hopes that the court would see New York City’s ban as it is: government overreach. Today’s decision marks another victory in our fight. New York City should not be allowed to meddle in Upstate New York’s agricultural industry,” Molinaro stated.
Since taking office, Rep. Molinaro has opposed New York City's foie gras ban and appealed directly to Mayor Eric Adams to reconsider the ban due to its significant impact on Sullivan County's economy.
