McNally, Jr. has dismissed a New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) lawsuit, filed in May 2016, regarding rights for farm workers. Senator Michael H. Ranzenhofer (R-C-I, Amherst) was the first outspoken State Legislator to criticize the NYCLU\u2019s actions. Senator Ranzenhofer has issued the following statement:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NYCLU\u2019s attempt to bypass the State Legislature and push increased regulations on our agriculture industry has failed. These burdensome regulations would have had a devastating impact on our family farms. I applaud the judge\u2019s decision, and I commend the New York Farm Bureau for defending our 35,000 farms all across our state. As New York State\u2019s number one industry, agriculture is the backbone of our rural communities, and this is a major victory for our family farms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Judges ruling
