hanna rep 120Utica, N.Y. – U.S. Rep. Richard Hanna (R, C, I-Barneveld) today met with more than 20 Upstate New York mayors to discuss the issues and challenges facing their municipalities.
 
The meeting was part of a Mayor’s Summit Hanna hosted to connect with local leaders and hear their concerns, criticisms and ideas. Mayors discussed issues ranging from unfunded mandates to aging infrastructure. The summit took place at the North Utica Senior Center.

“Today’s event was about listening and connecting with the elected leaders in our local municipalities,” Hanna said. “We can’t promise changes overnight, but I’m here, I’m listening and I’ll take their concerns and ideas back to Washington.”

New York State Conference of Mayors President Diana Smith, mayor of Seneca Falls, delivered an update on the current issues facing mayors in New York, and Hanna gave a presentation on transportation and infrastructure issues.

Hanna is a member of the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure and is vice chairman of the largest subcommittee, Highways and Transit.

The Mayor’s Summit is the first in a series of meetings Hanna will host with local elected officials.
