Dear Petition Supporters,

My name is Jason, and I’m part of the Decision Maker team at Change.org. We recently reached out to the Office of Assemblyman David DiPietro to share your petition and ask for an update on the WiGS legislation.

Here’s what we heard:

• The Assemblyman’s office strongly agrees with the concerns raised in the petition, particularly around how the proposed legislation could harm small, independent liquor stores that support their local communities.
• They’ve been actively engaging business owners—going door-to-door and working in Albany to be a voice for small businesses.
• When they reached out to the Assembly Ways and Means Committee for a status update, they were told that there has been little to no movement on the legislation since it was introduced.

This is a strong sign that your voices are having an impact. The Assemblyman’s office encourages you to keep reaching out to your representatives and members of the Ways and Means Committee to let them know you oppose WiGS.

Thank you and we hope you found this update useful.

Jason
