Chamber Hosts Legislative Breakfast

On Friday, May 14, 2010, the Amherst Chamber of Commerce and the Public Affairs Council hosted Erie County Executive Chris Collins and Erie County Legislator Ray Walter at a Legislative Breakfast sponsored by Key Bank. County Executive Collins and Legislator Walter answered questions posed by President/CEO Colleen DiPirro as well as audience members. Answers to our questions, as well as the top priorities identified by the County Executive and Legislator will be reviewed for inclusion in our 2011 Legislative Agenda.

The Council will be hosting two more breakfasts this year with our WNY State Delegation and WNY Federal Delegation of elected officials. The format for these breakfasts will remain the same, with all information gathered at the breakfasts reviewed for our Legislative Agenda in 2011.
