Albany, NY - “We thank Governor Cuomo for setting the standard for the rest of the country by prioritizing Buy American legislation,” said Mario Cilento, President of the New York State AFL-CIO.“Our hard-earned tax dollars, as well as our jobs, should not be sent overseas, particularly when we have the best skilled workers in the world ready to do the job. With Buy American, we will be creating good manufacturing jobs and strengthening local economies, including right here at home in New York.”
