“We have one of the highest deaf and hard-of-hearing populations per capita in the country,”Sarah Clark, Assemblymember for the 136th District, said. “Because of this, when COVID first hit it was constituents here that raised the issue that there was no interpreter during some of the governor’s initial speeches when he was giving updates every day. It’s because of Rochester; it’s because of the constituents here. Because we have such a vibrant deaf and hard of community that everything has become more inclusive.”
