Got a letter from my State Senator, Tom Duane.
Don't get me wrong, I think Tom is a great guy. But the correspondence I received from him hit me the wrong way.
Apparently, the Senator is hosting a couple of forums -- one on Thursday, July 17, 2008, and another on July 24, 2008 -- to educate his constituents on how to "budget, invest and save."
Featured speakers will include representatives from the Office of the New York State Comptroller (Thomas DiNapoli), Office of New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, and Alliance for Financial Literacy.
The event's co-sponsors are: Congressmembers Maloney and Nadler, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stinger, Assemblymembers Bing, Gottfried, Rosenthal, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, and Councilmembers Brewer, Garodnick, Gerson and Mendez.
Aren't these some of the same people that can't balance our local, state and federal budgets?
There is much to learn!
