July 12 -- I did a ten minute interview with WHCU, 879 AM, a news/talk station in Ithaca this morning in the 7:15 segment. We covered a lot of the issues: progressive tax reform, a public jobs programs, fully funding schools, public investment in a sustainable green economic recovery, banning hydrofracking, mayoral control and privatization agenda vs. elected school boards and public accountability, and cleaning up Albany corruption through public campaign financing, proportional representation, and defunding the legislative party leaders' patronage machines based on member items and the $100 million discretionary budget for leaders in each chamber for legislators' staff, lulus, and other resources.
I hope to get to Ithaca later this week for petitioning and meeting up with Ithaca Greens.
