WATKINS GLEN — State Senator Tom O’Mara (R,C-Big Flats), Assemblyman Phil Palmesano (R,C-Corning), and Assemblyman Chris Friend (R,C-Big Flats) recently joined Yates County District Attorney Todd Casella and other regional law enforcement leaders to call on Governor Kathy Hochul and the Democrat leaders of the State Legislature to approve legislation and crack down on the proliferation of businesses, commonly known as “sticker shops,” illegally dispensing and selling marijuana throughout the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions, and statewide. O’Mara, Palmesano, and Friend currently sponsor legislation that, if enacted, would strengthen existing law, outlaw sticker stores, and establish criminal and civil penalties for violators.
