On Tuesday, March 23 at 5 p.m., please join Wagner College’s Hugh L. Carey Institute for Government Reform in welcoming Thomas Suozzi, who will be speaking on “What’s Wrong with Albany and How to Fix It.” The lecture, which is free, will be delivered in Spiro Hall, Rm. 4. The public is invited to attend.
Former Nassau County executive and Glen Cove mayor Tom Suozzi is probably best known for turning around a near-bankrupt suburban county government. “Fix Albany” became Suozzi’s campaign cry in his quixotic 2006 bid for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination against then-Attorney General Elliot Spitzer. Suozzi was narrowly defeated last fall in his bid for a third term as Nassau County’s top executive.
The Carey Institute is headed by former New York state Senator Seymour Lachman (D-Brooklyn/Staten Island), author of “Three Men in a Room: The Inside Story of Power and Betrayal in an American Statehouse” (2006) and the upcoming “Hugh Carey and the New York Fiscal Crisis: How America’s Empire State Avoided Bankruptcy,” scheduled for release this summer by SUNY Press.
