Griffo shutters North Country offices

State Senator Joe Griffo says cutbacks in state funding for Republican lawmakers are forcing him to close two North Country satellite offices.

Massena and Lowville will shut down immediately. Only one district office remains open, in Utica.

Constituents wanting to reach Sen. Griffo can call a toll free number: 1-800-226-1558.

The move follows the GOP’s loss of their Senate majority. The minority party historically has received less money for staff and offices.
