US Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-Schuylerville, at a House Intelligence Committee hearing on Tuesday requested that the FBI release all documents related to Shahed Hussain, the owner of the limousine that was in a fatal crash in Schoharie County on Oct. 6, 2018.
Hussain was an FBI informant, she said.
Stefanik also requested documents related to his companies and any documents and correspondence related to the investigation and trial of the 2018 accident involving Prestige Limousine.
She said if the documents are not released, she will attempt to subpoena them.
Now, she wants to permanently extend it.
“There’s a litany of answers that need to come forward,” Stefanik said in a telephone interview later on Tuesday.
“Absolutely — that’s going to be very, very important,” Stefanik said in a nationally televised interview on March 1.
Stefanik was responding to Fox Business commentator Larry Kudlow, who asked if she supports making “the Trump tax cuts” permanent.
Many of the provisions of the tax law are set to expire in 2025. In 2017, Stefanik said she voted against the tax law because it eliminated the federal income tax deduction for state property taxes, a change that disproportionately affected New York residents.
She said in a telephone interview with The Post-Star on March 2 that the high property taxes in New York are a symptom of poor fiscal policies at the state level. Veterans organizations
State Sen. Daphne Jordan, R-Halfmoon, on Wednesday announced she has introduced legislation to establish a $10 million state fund for veterans organizations that have experienced financial difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizations such as American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars posts could apply for grants of up to $50,000 each to pay rent, mortgages, maintenance and other business expenses such as insurance premiums and administrative costs.
“Our veterans services organizations provide such important support and services to our veterans and our communities as a whole. Many of these organizations have struggled financially throughout the pandemic, particularly since many of their traditional fundraising activities were shut down. This bill would help them get back on their feet so they can continue to provide critical support and fellowship for our community heroes,” Jordan said in a news release. The legislation, S8504, had four co-sponsors, all Republicans, as of Thursday.
Fire departments State Sen. Dan Stec, R-Queensbury, announced on Wednesday that legislation he introduced to allow fire departments to bill for ambulance transportation has passed the Senate.
