Paterson in Buffalo

Governor David Paterson is in Buffalo today to sign environmental legislation. The bill is designed to encourage cleanup of contaminated brownfields. There are hundreds of such abandoned and contaminated industrial areas in the Western New York. The Governor also stopped by the National Lieutenant Governors Association convention at the Hyatt. Paterson also told a group of local reporters and editors that he will veto any legislation intended to weaken the powers of the control boards in Buffalo and Erie County.
