“The signing of this bill is a tremendous win for the City of Watertown, and its taxpayers,” said Senator Patty Ritchie (R. – 48th District). “I am grateful to Governor Cuomo for recognizing the need to provide Watertown with relief from this costly unfunded mandate. In addition, I would like to thank Assemblyman Walczyk and Mayor Jeff Smith for partnering with me on this important effort to spare hardworking Watertown taxpayers from an unnecessary, $3 million second city courtroom.”
