He also led an effort to bring a Reverse 911 Emergency Notification System to Broome County.
He is proud to support many county construction projects that have emerged in his legislative district in the past two years, including the Binghamton Intermodal Bus Station, rehabilitation of the George Harvey Justice Building, development of the Downtown Binghamton Incubator, and the construction of a new Science and Technology building at Broome Community College.
Jason is committed to making Broome County Government more accountable to the taxpayers of Broome County by increasing the efficiency and quality of basic government services. He supports an open government policy and meets with his constituents frequently to hear their ideas and concerns. Jason is dedicated to making Broome County a cleaner, safer, and more affordable place to live.
