NYS is trying to replace it’s State Park Police Officers that receive 26 weeks of training with seasonal Rangers with 4 days of training. Shame on @NYstateparks@GovKathyHochul@ErikKulleseid. People and visitors of the State of New York deserve better. @pbanystate
You know who patrons probably DIDN’T see on their first day hikes @NYstateparks ? A @nys_parkpolice Officer! Why? Because you and Commissioner @ErikKulleseid are defunding the brave men and women of the @pbanystate through hiring freezes!! Unsafe parks!!
@GovKathyHochul@ErikKulleseid Who will answer the call when a patron of a NYS park is in trouble? A high school/college kid with 4 days of training and a radio that doesn’t work? Your veto of bill S4523/A6457 puts park patrons’ safety in jeopardy! Fact. @pbanystate
@GovKathyHochul your veto of S4523/A6457 was a knockout blow to 1100 hard working @pbanystate officers. Simply devastating. Is this what you had in mind when you said you would “fight like hell in 2022?” @ErikKulleseid@pbanystate
@GovKathyHochul
You state our bill terms needed to be negotiated through the “collective bargaining process”. False. That would be against Taylor law. @pbanystate

@GovKathyHochul dropped the ball by vetoing this bill. You had a chance to help address the MILLIONS of dollars wasted annually training @pbanystate members that leave for other jobs due to a 20 year retirement.
@GovKathyHochul@kp224 the membership of the @pbanystate received your veto of S4523. Unfortunately your recommendation of resolving this pension inequity through collective bargaining is a violation of the Taylor Law. Thank you for not taking care of NYS first responders.
