The committees were formed the evening of March 15, after each house passed their own one-house budget proposals, and initial meetings were held yesterday throughout the Capitol. "I am encouraged to see the budget conference committee process underway and the budget process moving forward. I will continue to advocate for the families, businesses and communities from throughout the seven counties I represent," said Assemblyman Lopez. Lopez' district includes most of Greene County and a ribbon of towns in Columbia County.
