Hochul 在声明中说，她对前议会多数党领袖 Ron Canestrari 的逝世深感悲痛，称他是一名退伍军人、一位尽职的公职人员，也是一位终身的 Cohoes 人，一生都在回馈养育他的社区。
她同时向 Canestrari 的家人、朋友和 Cohoes 社区表示慰问。降半旗安排只适用于11月14日当天。
New York Flags at Half-Staff on November 14 for Former Assembly Majority Leader Ron Canestrari
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has directed that flags on all state government buildings be flown at half-staff on Saturday, November 14, from sunrise to sunset, in honour of former Assembly Majority Leader Ron Canestrari, who died on November 9.
Canestrari was a lifelong resident of Cohoes and a Vietnam-era veteran. He served as the city's mayor from 1976 to 1989, then served in the New York State Assembly, rising to majority leader and chairing the Higher Education Committee.
Throughout his career, Canestrari advocated for increased state aid to local schools and municipalities and supported economic development initiatives across the Capital Region, including early investments that helped establish Albany's nanotechnology industry.
"I'm deeply saddened by the passing of former Assembly Majority Leader Ron Canestrari — a veteran, dedicated public servant and lifelong Cohoesier who devoted his life to giving back to the community that raised him," Hochul said.
She extended her condolences to his family, friends and the Cohoes community. The half-staff order applies to November 14 only.
