Gillibrand Visits Oswego


U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand met the officials of Oswego County’s various governments Friday afternoon for a brief give-and-take on economic issues that produced offers to help bring more money to the area.

Gillibrand hosted a discussion at Fulton City Hall with nearly two dozen local, county and state leaders.

Their message, whether the issue was stimulus funding, farming or a new nuclear plant, was simple: We need money.

Oswego Mayor Randy Bateman asked Gillibrand to find money to help bring a fourth nuclear plant to the county. County legislator Mike Kunzwiler added his plea, saying, “the community is endorsing the plant being built.”
