What: News Conference by Syracuse Area Green Announcing his Candidacy for State Legislature

When: 11:00 am, Tuesday, June 1, 2010

Where: Front steps of State Office Building, 333. E. Washington St., Syracuse

He's a biker, a baker, a lawyer, and a Green running for the state legislature who aims to clean up Albany and make the rich pay their fair share of taxes in order to balance the state budget and fully fund public schools, parks, health care, and other public services.

"The general public is disgusted at the late budget and the general dysfunction and corruption in the state legislature that is monopolized by the two major parties," he says. "My candidacy will give voters the opportunity to elect a new voice to the legislature who is not tied to the corporate funding and legislative patronage machines of either of the old parties."
