Bay Ridge lawmaker takes a seat at the money table in Albany
One of the New York State Assembly’s junior members is also one of its fastest rising political stars.
Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-Bay Ridge-Staten Island) who recently won re-election to only her second term in the legislature, has been tapped to serve on the powerful Ways and Means Committee.
Bills involving all major expenditures in the state come before the Ways and Means Committee. The fact that Malliotakis will sit on that committee means that she will have a seat at the table when big money decisions are made regarding the state budget.
