Lynne Dixon said, "Discussion of the 'Greenlight' bill has been going on for weeks in Albany and Executive Poloncarz has said nothing. Today, three days after the 'Greenlight' legislation that allows illegal immigrants to obtain drivers licenses was signed into law by Governor Cuomo, Mark Poloncarz decided to put out a statement that had a lot of words, but still does not say whether he supports or opposes giving illegal immigrants drivers licenses. Poloncarz and Cuomo continue to support allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver IDs in Erie County and it's a shame. Our residents deserve better, the legal immigrants who followed the law to come into this country deserve better."
