Storms have hit Oneida County hard — with over 1,300 extreme weather events since 1996 — and now lawmakers want better support for local recovery, according to WSTM.
State Senator Griffo is backing a bill that would send more funding to communities facing costly damage from snow, floods, and tornadoes. He says New York needs a plan to respond faster and prepare for future disasters.
The legislation is still in committee but aims to give towns and families the tools to bounce back when the next big storm hits.
