Oppenheimer applauds cancer bill
State Sen. Suzi Oppenheimer, D-Mamaroneck, held a press conference today praising a cancer mapping bill she originated that became law last month.
On Sept. 26, Gov. David Paterson signed the bill which requires the state departments of Health and Environmental Conservation to identify population clusters where cancer is prevalent and to keep a data base of the info for future study.
State assemblyman Richard Brodsky, D-Greenburgh, sponsored the bill on his side.
In her election race against Larchmont mayor Liz Feld, Oppenheimer today also announced the endorsement of Sen. Hillary Clinton. The state’s other U.S. Senator, Chuck Schumer, endorsed Oppenheimer earlier this month.
UPDATE: Oppenheimer today also announced the endorsement from the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME).
