Setting record straight for our members that the Governor signed this bill on Saturday with all of the statewide volunteer fire service organizations present and in support. Thank you @GovKathyHochul
.@NassauExec Bruce Blakeman is slamming @GovKathyHochul for “stalling” on a bill that she signed into law on Saturday.

Thank you, @McMahonforNYS, for traveling across the state to join us on this historic day. Your commitment to this bill and the fire service means so much. Thank you for your advocacy in getting this tax credit quadrupled! #volunteerfirefighter
To our champion, @NYSSenatorMRM thank you for showing as always how deeply you care for the volunteer fire and #EMS workers not only in your district, but statewide. You made this happen! Tax credit quadrupled! #volunteerfirefighter
Thank you @GovKathyHochul for your willingness to listen to your state volunteer service and take this on. Your actions today took an outdated program and made it meaningful for our membership again. #volunteerfirefighter #EMS
