Assemblyman Steve Hawley said he's just received word that Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed today -- on Veterans Day -- a piece of legislation he sponsored to rename Route 98 from Attica to Lake Ontario "The Genesee-Orleans Veterans Memorial Highway."
Hawley said he was proud that the governor supported his request to rename the highway and that Cuomo signed the bill on Veterans Day.
"We should recognize veterans 365 days a year and this helps do that," Hawley said.
Senators Mike Ranzenhofer and George Maziarz sponsored the bill in the Senate.
"As a proud veteran myself and the son of a World War II veteran and the ranking minority member of the Veterans Affairs Committee in the Assembly, I thought it important to recognize what veterans have done for our country," Hawley said.
