The League of Women Voters of New York State
Forum on Redistricting
Over 60 people from 9 local Leagues and other organizations attended
the Forum on Redistricting and celebration of the LWVUS's 90th
Birthday at the Rockefeller Institute on Feb. 9. Speakers included
Assemblyman William Parment; Assemblyman Daniel Burling; Gerald
Benjamin, Associate VP for Regional Engagement, SUNY New Paltz; Blair
Horner, Legislative Director, NYPIRG; and Jeffrey Wice, Counsel to
Senate Reapportionment Chairman Martin Dilan. Susan Arbetter of
WCNY-TV moderated.
Four photos from the event are posted on the League's homepage
(www.lwvny.org) but more photos can be viewed on our facebook page; you don't have to sign up or join to
view the photos.
Also, videos of the Forum are available on the Rockefeller Institute's
website. WCNY - TV is making DVDs
available of the Forum and we will provide more information on that in
the next week. Finally, a segment of the Forum will be airing on
WCNY-TV in the central New York area next week - we will notify League
Presidents in the viewing area as soon as we have the definite date
and time.
The Forum was well attended and provided an abundance of information and further questions about this key issue. A follow-up forum is being discussed as well. So, even if you missed the forum, take a look at the photos and watch the videos to learn more. It was a wonderful event to celebrate 90 years of the League! Spread the word so others can watch also.
