Senator Cooney from Rochester chairs the Senate’s Procurement Committee and is a member of several important committees including Commerce, Economic Development and Small Business, Finance, Insurance, Transportation, and the Select Task Force on MWBEs. We had a productive meeting during which we discussed the various ways Senator Cooney can assist our membership, with a particular focus on insurance legislation and how insurance costs can be reduced for contractors.
