The Saland Record: Decades of
Experience |
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION
AND AGRICULTURE
The Hudson Valley is one of the
most progressive areas in the State,
particularly in the way we view the
environment. Residents of Dutchess and
Columbia counties take pride in the
scenic beauty of the Hudson River, the
vast farmlands and the local products
from the dairy farms, fruit orchards and
award winning vineyards. Senator Saland
has sponsored several measures over the
years which promote local products and
attract visitors to our wine trail.
Senator Saland has worked closely with
environmental groups like Scenic Hudson
to foster environmentally friendly
economic growth. Senator Saland has
lent his support to numerous
environmental projects and secured
$5,797,661 to improve the local
environment and promote the region's
agricultural industry.
Senator Saland has listened to his
constituency on environmental matters.
When residents expressed concern that
the State Assembly had passed a measure
to impose a mandated cost on homeowners
amounting to several hundreds of dollars
to test their private well water, he
listened. Senator Saland came up with a
fair and balanced measure that achieves
the desired goal of testing private
wells while sparing homeowners of the
high cost associated with the tests.
Senator Saland is working to ensure that
the public is aware of the potential
problems of private well contamination
and has crafted a beneficial proposal
without imposing mandated costs on
homeowners.
