Nine new patrol boats have been assigned to NY state and local police agencies to assist with marine law enforcement efforts.

“From Lake George to the Long Island Sound, New York is home to some of the best recreational boating in the nation,” NY Governor Cuomo said. “These new patrol vessels will help keep New York's waterways safe while improving security for all boat operators and passengers this season."

This year’s patrol vessels are assigned to:

Department of Environmental Conservation Police
New York State Park Police, Thousand Islands Region
Lake George Park Commission

For our children, most of whom we have had the pleasure of welcoming in our classes over the years, a well-deserved and our most sincere congratulations.

That bell has rung to end the final round of your bout with higher education. You may be tired, and bruised, but you are still standing. You did it, Kudos!!!

As colleges and universities hold ceremonies across this great nation, let's reflect on students at all institutions of higher learning along the eastern seaboard, the west coast, and Midwest, who have shared knowledge and gained wisdom.
