Our budget is late for the 20th year in a row, municipalities are struggling to pay for state mandates, more people are moving out of the state due to the high cost of living and our legislators are spending time on bills such as this???

This bill will not solve the problem. It will add financial burdens to dog owners on fixed incomes who may be forced to give up a beloved companion animal. Fewer people will license dogs to avoid being in the state data base and flagged for the required insurance. Mr. Rivera claims 80% of dogs in NYC are not licensed. People who don't license dogs won't get insurance.

By the way, this bill was reviewed in the state INSURANCE COMMITTEE before it reached the assembly floor. What does that tell you????? Does anyone else hear the sounds of the insurance companies licking their chops?
