Westchester license fee update
I have been told that the “home rule” bill allowing Westchester to set their own firearms license fees, A-7939/S-6659, will come to the floor for a vote and will pass, but both Tom Abinanti and Amy Paulin will vote against it.
Normally if a “home rule” bill doesn’t have the support of electeds from the county it won’t come up, but this is what I have been told is the deal right now.
