ALBANY – Assemblyman Gary Finch (R,C,I-Springport) is urging state legislators to fund infrastructure projects before deteriorating roads and bridges in the area get any worse.

On Wednesday, Finch stood alongside a bipartisan group legislators from the Senate and Assembly to issue a call for additional funding needed to revitalize upstate’s deteriorating infrastructure.

Finch said the issue of funding parity isn’t just a matter of equity and fairness between Upstate and Downstate, but a matter of safety for everyone.
