Great piece by @WAMCNews’ @davelucas on my brother from another mother @mpeterforalbany, who really needs to stop doing things like this. https://t.co/HbRKWnoli6

The Inflation Reduction Act is the most sweeping legislation ever enacted to combat climate change - and can save you and your family thousands each year in incentives. This week we’re partnering with New York League of Conservation Voters and Congressman Paul D. Tonkoto spread the word.

What a tremendous turnout today to celebrate LGBTQIA+ Pride in the City of Albany.
It was an honor to march with @IOOV245 as they celebrate their 25th anniversary providing services and support for our LGBTQIA+ BIPOC community.
We are partnering with our friends at RISSE and many stakeholders across Albany County to make something very clear — We are a welcoming community, and we’re going to support those fleeing poverty and despair to make a new life in our community.
Please consider donating to our supply drive from now until June 20th.
One of the best public defenders & most joyous Lark St resident passed away on June 1.
Don was a fighter and a great friend and had the most amazing laugh. I am completely broken by his passing and hope to keep his legacy alive in tenacious defense work.

Proud to help celebrate the 25th anniversary of @IOOV245, which has been deeply committed to serving & supporting people of color from the LGBTQA+ community. They have helped 600,000 individuals across 7 counties & I'm happy Albany County can be a partner to them. Congrats!
