Governor Paterson to Conduct Student Town Hall Meeting at SUNY Geneseo

GENESEO, N.Y. – New York Governor David Paterson will conduct a student town hall meeting on the SUNY Geneseo campus March 12.  The public is invited to the event, which begins at 11 a.m. in Wadsworth Auditorium, 1 College Circle.  Doors will open at 10 a.m.

“These town hall meetings provide New Yorkers with a forum to share thoughts, ideas and suggestions on ways we can improve the economic outlook for New York,” said Governor Paterson.  “I look forward to hearing directly from New York’s residents and students as we work together to emerge from this crisis and place New York state on the road towards fiscal recovery.”

The Geneseo event is the governor’s second student town hall meeting.  The first was at Morrisville State College Feb. 12.

Those wishing to attend the student town hall meeting are encouraged to RSVP on the governor’s Web site at www.ny.gov/governor/townhalls.  Responding, however, is not a requirement for admittance.  Those wishing to submit questions or comments may do so at the same address.  Seating will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
