Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On December 2, 2016, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer toured one of Yates County’s largest employers, Coach & Equipment. Schumer spoke to workers, management and local leaders about the future of the plant and discussed why buying New York products is so important. Schumer also launched a push to help Coach pursue a major contract that would allow it to produce the roughly 400 new paratransit buses that the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) anticipates to purchase soon and put on the road next year. Schumer said this could mean good things for job creation and local workers in Yates County.
