ACTION/ EDUCATION COMMITTEES 2009-2010 Report
Submitted by Maxine Borom, Chair
ACTION Several visits were made to Assembleymen Tedisco and Amedore and to Senator Farley concerning the LWVNYS issues of Ethics and Campaign Finance Reforms, Redistricting and Election Law (e.g. revision of the absentee ballot application form to include no excuse absentee voting). LWVNY compiles the results obtained around the state by local leagues. Telephone calls were made and e-mails were sent when requested by LWVNYS. The "Fix Albany Now" conference which was cosponsored by LWVNYS was attended by 14 Schenectady League members.
EDUCATION Most of the activity was related to problems and developments in the Schenectady school district, with financial, personnel and school board election issues at the forefront. Many LWV members attended many meetings and provided thoughtful comments as the process evolved.
