Albany Update Operation Patriot
by Assemblyman Joe Morelle Mission 343
“Field of Honor”

Duffy and state officials to announce new funding for the

outlets in our region.
This announcement stemmed from negotiations I brokered
between New York State and Genesee Valley Regional Market
Authority, which former Governor Paterson sought to abolish
on the grounds that it had strayed from its original mission. He
also hoped to use the Authority’s large fund surplus to help re-
duce the state’s budget deficit.
I believed this was the wrong approach for many reasons.
The GVRMA is a long-standing institution that supports thou-
sands of jobs, and a compromise ensuring its survival was not
only possible but essential.
In the end, we found that compromise. The GVRMA agreed
to reorganize its management and distribute part of its surplus to
other agricultural agencies in our area. This included $2 million
for the Rochester Public Market and $250,000 to support a joint
farm market project between Brighton and the City’s South
Wedge.
Although not often recognized, agriculture is New York’s sec-
ond largest industry. Nearly one-quarter of the state’s land area
is devoted to food production, with more than $3 billion in goods
delivered in 2010. The Finger Lakes-Rochester region, with its
dairy farms and wineries, is integral to this output.
To support our local growers, I passed a bill in both houses of
the legislature this year redefining and broadening the types of Paying tribute to the heroic firefighters
