From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Guthrie Sent: Friday, October 16, 2015 1:27 PM To: NYSBIRDS_L Subject: [nysbirds-l] Feral Cats - again Well, here's the latest on the Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) bill: It was passed by both the State Assembly and the State Senate. Since the State Assembly had voted on this bill first, they get to decide when it gets sent to the Governor for signature and passage into law. The State Assembly sent the bill to the Governor 2-days ago (October 14th). So the Governor has 10 days to either sign or veto the bill. If he does not sign it within that 10 days, the bill is automatically vetoed. The state legislative calendar is a strange animal. Ten days consists of each calendar day, except Sundays. So according to that formula, 10 days from the 14th becomes October 26th. Bottom line is that the dreaded TNR bill is NOT LAW - yet. So there is still time to act. You might want to contact the Governor's office to let him know your opinion whether public funding of creating feral cat colonies in neighborhoods, parks, and sanctuaries is a good idea - or NOT. Refer to it by number to help the staff organize your comments: A2778/S1081 The Governor's contact information is: Phone: 1-518-474-8390<tel:15184748390> Office hours: 9:00am to 5:00pm or: USPS: The Honorable Andrew M.
