Senator Oberacker Stands Up for Bars & Restaurants

ALBANY – Senator Peter Oberacker (R/C-Schenevus) continues to fight for small business owners, calling for the end of the governor’s arbitrary curfew for bars and restaurants.

 “Throughout the pandemic the governor has implored everybody to ‘follow the science’ however that is a principle he fails to observe,” said Senator Peter Oberacker. “Restaurants and bars have been among the hardest hit sectors of our economy over the past year.  Owners and staff alike have worked to constantly reinvent how they go about their day-to-day business just to stay afloat.  Too many restaurants have closed permanently due to the pandemic and we need to throw a lifeline to those that remain before even more are lost due to arbitrary, unscientific mandates from the governor.  If changes are not made soon, last call will take on a much more devastating meaning.”
