NYS Government Holiday Initiative
So great to see this from the Governor’s office. It’s a wonderful start.
When Commissioners and other elected and appointed officials take the time to connect with the people they serve, outside of their work parameters, and when they are given kudos for that service, I see potential for a brighter future!
Read on, and thank those that serve for the public good! Let’s make this list twice as long next year (and maybe a few times in-between).
