NOW NY President slams Senate Democrats

By Chris Ulanowski

Oswego, NY – New York State Senator Hiriam Monserrate, who faces felony charges for assaulting his girlfriend, has regained the chairmanship of a committee and $12,500 stipend that goes with it. Marcia Pappas of the New York State Chapter of the National Organization for Women is outraged. Listen to her comments in this interview with WRVO's Chris Ulanowski. ( A spokesman for Monserrate denies that politics had anything to do with the move.)
