| The next three upstate town hall meetings have been announced for Governor David Paterson's upstate tour.
The next town hall meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Niagara Falls Housing Authority's Doris W. Jones Family Resource Building, 3001 9th Street, Niagara Falls. The doors open at 4:30 p.m., so get there early to get a seat.
The following Wednesday, Governor Paterson will be in Rochester. That event will also begin at 5:30 p.m. with the doors opening at 4:30 p.m. The town hall will be held at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center's Lilac Ballroom, 123 East Main Street, Rochester.
On March 12, the day after the town hall in Rochester, Governor Paterson will hold his second student town hall meeting at SUNY Geneseo. That will take place on the campus of SUNY Geneseo inside the Wadsworth Auditorium. The doors open at 10 a.m. and the event starts at 11 a.m.
Governor Paterson acknowledged how important these town halls are for the public and for his own enrichment.
"During this economic crisis, we as citizens have the responsibility to work together towards achieving a brighter future for our State," said Governor Paterson. "These Town Hall meetings have provided New Yorkers with a forum to share thoughts, ideas and suggestions on ways we can improve the economic outlook for New York. I look forward to hearing directly from New York's residents and students as we work together to emerge from this crisis and place New York State on the road towards fiscal recovery."
If you are interested in attending, you can RSVP here. An RSVP is not required to attend. You can also submit your questions here.
I will be attending all three of those meetings, so if you are in the area of any of these, I'd gladly meet up with some fellow TAP community members for a coffee shop visit or dinner. Feel free to e-mail me at robert.harding22@gmail.com if you are interested. |
