Governor Patterson’s office announced last week that his Economic Security Cabinet, made up of 20 state agencies, will hold a series of meetings with the citizenry to discuss the economy.
Brave man! Or, to be more accurate, brave staffers!
The meetings will begin promptly at 4 p.m. and end at 7 p.m. They will be held as follows:
June 19 Western NY Region - Erie Community College-Downtown
June 25 Finger Lakes Region - Rochester City Hall
June 26 Central NY Region - Onondaga Community College
July 1 Southern Tier Region - Broome Community College
July 7 Mohawk Valley Region - Mohawk Valley Community College
July 16 Watertown- Jefferson Community College Plattsburgh - Clinton Community College
July 24 Mid-Hudson Region - Orange County Community College
July 28 New York City- Brooklyn Borough Hall New York City- Adam Clayton Powell Jr. State Office Building Art Gallery 163 West 125th Street
July 30 Long Island Region - Farmingdale State College
July 31 New York City - York College/CUNY
Naturally, none of these are what you might call nearby — the closest meeting will be taking place on July 1st in the Binghamton area. Then again, it’s worth your while to go (if you can spare the gas) and offer your input.
