Statement from Senator Breslin Regarding State Park Closures
Kelly Conboy | 518.455.2225 |      March 8, 2010      Dear
Friend:          Thank you for contacting my office regarding
the governor’s proposal to further reduce the state parks
operating budget. As you know, this latest round of cuts will
force the closure of many New York State parks, including John
Boyd Thacher State Park in Voorheesville. I appreciate and share
your concern that the closure of this park would be detrimental
to the community, both economically and environmentally.      
 Parks such as Thacher provide a much needed outlet for my
constituents, especially in these harsh economic times as people
are more apt to staycation rather than vacation. Please know
that I will do everything in my power to ensure that John Boyd
Thacher State Park remains open and functioning. Be assured that
I will make my voice heard during budget negotiations and work
to restore the State Park operating aid.          I appreciate
your taking the time
