This information is from a news release from Steve Hawley.
On July 1, Assemblyman Steve Hawley closed out the 2010-2011 Legislative Session by giving New York State flags to his colleagues in the Assembly.

Dave,
I am not arguing that they did a bad job. I just wanted to point out at least one side finished up.
