Farmingdale – Utility and Transportation Contractors Association (UTCA) Executive Director Dave Rible released the following statement today on the passing of Lieutenant Governor Sheila Oliver:
“I had the pleasure of working with Lieutenant Governor Oliver when she was Assembly Speaker and I was conference leader. She had a unique and relentless commitment to those she represented. Though we were from different parties, our conversations were always civil and with the goal of achieving what was best for the people of this state. She was a trendsetter and a history maker; someone we can all look up to as a great example of what it means to engage in public service. UTCA offers its condolences and prayers to her family and friends. May she forever rest in peace.”
