Senator Akshar Hosts Town Hall, Talks Deal Breaker on Southern Tier Close Up
New York State Senator Fred Akshar hosted his first Virtual Town Hall meeting of 2021 on February 22.
The Binghamton Republican had held listening sessions in person pre-pandemic and continued the Town Hall tradition vial online platforms last year.
You can hear more about Senator Akshar’s work in Albany and how the past year with the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the dynamics of the politics in the state this Saturday, February 27 on the weekly, local public affairs program: Southern Tier Close Up. The Senator talks about policing, his current community survey that’s underway and what is done with information collected in those surveys and at Town Hall meetings like the ones scheduled for March 1 at 6:30 p.m.
He even reveals the “deal breaker” issue he won’t budge on, even if it would cost him an election.
Southern Tier Close Up is heard Saturday at 6 a.m. on 98.1 The Hawk.
