Examining Project Sunlight: A Souper Supper Event

When LWVAC members saw a demo of “Project Sunlight” in December by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo and Blair Horner, the then project manager (and now heade of NYPIRG), we were excited about the promise that it had to promote transparency in state government. Our members and other good government organizations would be prime users for this wonderful new facility, and we are concerned about its future. Join us for a demonstration of Project Sunlight.

Proposal for a New Local Program Study Announced:

“Greening our Albany County Towns and Cities: Encouraging Responsible Use of Natural Resources by our Municipalities”

The heart of the League of Women Voters is grass roots action. Our members want to make a difference and be involved in their communities; study and action on local issues is a great way to do that. It’s what engages our members and benefits our communities. LWVAC has a long history of action on local issues - the Pine Bush preserve, the Albany County and City Charters to name just a couple of examples. [More . . . .]
