The Farm Tax Credit bill, which provides a tax credit for farmers who use the Thruway to transport produce, passed the Assembly today.
Here is one statement:
"I
was pleased to vote in favor of the farm tax credit in the Assembly," said Assemblyman Will Barclay, R-Pulaski.
"This bill establishes a much-needed tax
credit for Thruway tolls for farmers. Passing this type of
legislation is a good example of how our state can be friendlier to
businesses, especially farmers who work so hard to provide local
produce and need to travel to reach the fresh-food markets.
"We should
be helping them get from place to place, not discouraging travel with
Thruway fees. I was pleased to co-sponsor this measure and vote in
favor. I am urging the Senate to take this measure up next. I hope to
see similar bills friendly to small business and agriculture come to
the Assembly floor for a vote in the upcoming weeks."
