THIS WEEK:
Jason welcomed Senator George Latimer who is running for re-election.  George spoke of the ongoing scandals on all sides.  He pointed out that the problem in Albany is systemic with far-reaching effects.  He spoke of the movie “American Hustle” where there was a scandal which drew everyone into it.  Different scandals that go on include abuse of power, financial compromising and also sexual abuse or harassment.  He said to address these problems, they first must be isolated and then corrected.  He cited an example of one person who cheated on his vouchers for his hotel stays.  He also mentioned some scandals involving lawyers, businessmen and even immigration employees. George emphasized that if one votes “Party” over “Propriety”, he or she has lost the greatest leverage a voter possesses.  Regarding “term limits”, he said that it is not necessarily bad, but it can encourage illegalities.  “More important, “ he said, is “de-centralizing control”.  Too much money, both public and private funds, can create problems.  By lowering contribution amounts, this can bring more people into the voting decision arena.  He emphasized that one party must always respect the other party and that different ideologies need not destroy progress and the change for the good.  Q & A followed.  George was applauded and Jason thanked him for sharing his views with us.
 
 
Meeting was adjourned.
 
 
Respectfully submitted,
 
Melanie R. Ciraco

                     What's Rotary?
 
Rotary is a volunteer organization of 1.2 million business and professional leaders united world wide to provide humanitarian service and help build goodwill and peace. About 32,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas conduct projects to address today's challenges - including illiteracy, disease, hunger, poverty, lack of clean water, and environmental concerns - while encouraging high ethical standards in all vocations.
 
As the worlds largest private provider of international scholarships, The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International helps more than 1,000 students annually to study abroad and serve as cultural ambassadors. Rotary also partners with seven prestigious universities around the world, providing opportunities to earn a master's degree in peace and conflict resolution.
 
PolioPlus is Rotary's flagship program. By the time polio is eradicated, Rotary club members will have contributed US$850 million and countless volunteer hours to immunize more than two billion children in 122 countries. Rotary is a spearheading partner in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, along with the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
 
Founded in Chicago in 1905 as the world's first volunteer service organization, Rotary quickly expanded around the globe. Today, club members meet weekly to plan service projects, discuss community and international issues, and enjoy fellowship.  Clubs are nonpolitical and open to every race, culture and creed. www.rotary.com
