Carpino pushed for a second public hearing after hearing from many area veterans they could not make the Oct 1st hearing.

“This public hearing will be their opportunity to express their concerns and suggestions. Our veterans have given so much and we have an obligation help them when they are in need. They were there for us and we need to be there for them,” said Rep. Carpino.
