“When Mayor Palmieri took office eight years ago, the City of Utica was in severe fiscal distress. At the Mayor’s request, I sat with his administration and we crafted a plan to bring long-term sustainability to Utica. Since that time, the Mayor has been implementing that plan and the City is beginning to see the benefits — improved bond ratings, lower borrowing costs, a healthy fund balance and a growing tax base. I’m endorsing my friend Rob Palmieri because he’s made the difficult decisions necessary to help Utica thrive.”
– NYS Comptroller Tom DiNapoli
