Liz Krueger's Events

The fourth breakfast in Senator Krueger's Roundtable Series for Boomers and Seniors this year will feature speakers on "The Graying of the American Workforce," the issues surrounding increased longevity, delayed retirement and longer careers, and the ways these phenomena are changing the modern workplace and creating new challenges.

Please join Senator Krueger at Lenox Hill Neighborhood House for the first of a five-part breakfast discussion series on the challenges of longevity.

Members of the community are invited to Sen. Liz Krueger's 6th Annual Senior Resource Fair! Over 50 exhibitors will provide information for older adults at Temple Emanu-El. Admission is free, and refreshments and free Senior Resource Guides will be provided.

There is a war on women raging across the country. Presidential candidates are speaking out in opposition to basic contraception. Anti-woman legislators around the country are trying to put more and more barriers between women and their reproductive rights. Wisconsin's governor just pushed through a repeal of his state's Equal Pay Enforcement Act. Even here in New York, we are having difficulty pushing a pro-woman agenda forward.

Join us and find out how to fight back from an array of featured speakers.

Join us for Part V of our Five-Part Series for Boomers and Seniors, "Who Will Care for Me? Redefining Aging and How We Care for our Elders." Presenters will include: Alice Fisher, Community Outreach Director for the Office of State Senator Liz Krueger; and Frederic Riccardi, Director of Programs and Outreach for the Medicare Rights Center. A light breakfast will be served.

RSVP is required -- for further information or to RSVP, email Dore Mann, doremann@gmail.com or call (212) 490-9535.

Whether  you are  planning  for  your retirement or already receiving senior benefits and entitlement, this will be an important conversation. For those of you who are not yet retired, you will learn what kind of government income and benefits you can look forward to receiving.  And, for those of you who are already retired, you will be able to find out if you are receiving everything to which you are entitled.

SUBJECT: Improving transparency, forecasting and flexibility in New York State’s budgetary process.

Technological advances in the telecommunications industry continue to outpace New York State’s attempts to tax service providers in an equitable way. New media is emerging and broadening its base at a rapid pace, and traditional media is just as quickly expanding its service portfolio. The state’s telecom taxes, like the industry to which they apply, have evolved.
