ASSEMBLYMAN DEAN MURRAY NAMED TO EDUCATION COMMITTEE

Assemblyman Dean Murray (R,C-East Patchogue) today announced that he has been named to serve on the Assembly Education Committee.  Murray said he is looking forward to serving on the committee to help provide the best education for our children and fighting for Long Island to receive an equitable share of state education aid.  He is looking forward to the challenge of accomplishing this, while at the same time capping property taxes, alleviating unfunded mandates and improving return on investment for school aid across Long Island and the state.

“We are facing enormous fiscal challenges this year and it is going to be critical now, more than ever, that Long Island taxpayers receive their fair share of education aid,” said Assemblyman Murray.  “The education of our children cannot be ignored, nor can the challenges of improving our return on investment.  Property tax relief, mandate relief and school aid all play an important role in our education system.”

In addition to serving on the Education Committee, Assemblyman Murray also serves on the Assembly Banking, Transportation and Economic Development Committees, and is the Ranking Member of the Assembly Tourism, Parks, Arts and Sports Development Committee.
