Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
\nOn April 7, 2009 Schumer visited Mohawk Valley EDGE in Rome, NY to announce his plan to ensure that power companies listen to local communities when drafting routes for future transmission lines. The Senator's plan will prevent the Federal Energy Regulator Commission (FERC) from overriding New York State's approval process for new transmission lines and prevent companies, such as NYRI from running roughshod through houses, parks, scenic vistas, towns and villages across the state. www.schumer.senate.gov
