Got milk? Senator Charles Schumer wants to make sure you do.
Today Schumer visits upstate New York to talk about his stimulus plan for the dairy and agricultural industry in New York. Livestock and livestock products account for about two thirds of New York's agricultural income.
The senator is visiting Columbia and Schoharie counties along with Greene County which is expected to receive $5.3 million in direct budget relief.
State officials estimate New York will get $24.6 billion overall out of the stimulus package including Medicaid, construction, education and other funding. This is part of the $789 billion federal bailout bill passed by Congress. President Obama has yet to sign it.
