Monroe & Surrounding Counties

Monroe County executive Adam Bello announced yesterday that Monroe county will be accepting at least another 200 Afghan refugees and has designated that the Monroe County Veterans Service Agency will be offering benefits to these refugees.

“I’ve directed the Monroe County veteran’s service agency to offer benefits to these refugees which include access to mental health programs, employment resources and connecting them with a law office which is helping provide legal assistance,” Bello said.

 I hope anyone in Monroe county or anyone interested will voice their opposition to the decision to divert resources from Veteran services for any reason other than their intended purpose.
