Ortt's statement on the matter follows in its entirety:
As a state Senator who’s new to Albany, I believe the system must require greater transparency and disclosure to strengthen the public’s trust in government. With ongoing discussions between the legislature and the governor, I’m hopeful we can reach an agreement on campaign finance and ethics reform, as well as a multitude of other issues, including tax relief, school funding, and infrastructure improvements to deliver an on-time budget.
