6.20.17 – Felder declines to meet with NYSD17 for Progress before end of session, offers July meeting instead

On June 19, Bryan Best, one of Sen. Felder’s legislative staffers, told John V. Santore, a district 17 constituent, that Mr. Felder would be unable to speak to the members of NY State District 17 for Progress before the end of the legislative session. Best also said that none of Mr. Felder’s staffers were available for a meeting, either.

NY State District 17 for Progress requested a meeting, either in person or by phone, on June 9. The request was sent along with a petition listing 81 signatures from Brooklyn residents in support of the meeting, including numerous District 17 constituents.

Best said that the Senate schedule was very hectic at the end of the session, implying that was why the meeting couldn’t take place. He also said he would try to send an email to Santore providing more information on the legislation District 17 for Progress wanted to discuss. As of June 25, the email had yet to be received.

Additionally, Best offered to set up a meeting with NYSD 17 for Progress on July 19 or 20. An update regarding this offer will be provided once more information is available.
