Re: [nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay Legislation

2019-11-16 Thread Nancy Shamban
FYI to all.  You cannot email directly from that website.  Go to the
website at https://www.governor.ny.gov/content/governor-contact-form

and
fill in the form with this or another letter.  There is no actual email to
use to the governor.  So call or go thru the website.  Both easy to do.
Thanks Joshua
