The E-Accountability Foundation announces the
'A for Accountability' Award
to those who are willing to whistleblow unjust, misleading, or false actions and claims of the politico-educational complex in order to bring about educational reform in favor of children of all races, intellectual ability and economic status. They ask questions that need to be asked, such as "where is the money?" and "Why does it have to be this way?" and they never give up. These people have withstood adversity and have held those who seem not to believe in honesty, integrity and compassion accountable for their actions. The winners of our "A" work to expose wrong-doing not for themselves, but for others - total strangers - for the "Greater Good"of the community and, by their actions, exemplify courage and self-less passion. They are parent advocates. We salute you.

NYS Debuts Citizens Connects, Online Town Hall
Posted on Monday, 26 of September , 2011 at 9:17 pm North Country Gazette ALBANY—CitizenConnects, an online town hall has been launched to encourage New Yorkers to participate in state government and share their ideas to help shapeNew York’s future. The new online town hall website will feature multiple interactive platforms for New Yorkers to communicate and participate with their state government. The website will give New Yorkers unprecedented access to the workings of the executive branch as well as provide new and easy ways to participate in the ongoing activities of the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the cabinet, and top officials in the executive chamber. The website will feature a new online town hall where the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor and top commissioners and executive officials will participate in weekly online chats where they will take questions directly from New Yorkers. The Governor will hold the first chat this Saturday. To visit CitizenConnects go to http://www.citizenconnects.com. The website will also be a portal for New Yorkers to participate in upcoming state events and activities, use social media to talk and comment on the workings of state government, and track future and past travel for the Governor and the executive branch. “Democracy works when the voice of the people rings strong and citizens participate in government,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. “This will be a ‘Town Hall’ in every sense. It will be an open forum for New Yorkers to interact and participate in their government; it will be a place New Yorkers can visit to communicate with their leaders and sign up for community activities; and it will allow New Yorkers to have a direct window into the workings of their government. This world is changing. New technology allows us new opportunities to communicate with the people of the state. Traditional forms of communication and information have given way to electronics. It’s time government gets up to date.” CitizenConnects is another step in the Governor’s transformational efforts to bring government to New Yorkers. CitizenConnects will be an online Town Hall and a forum for New Yorkers to communicate with his administration and their government. The website will provide unprecedented direct access to the activities of the Governor and state agencies. On the website, New Yorkers will be able to: * Participate in online town halls where New Yorkers can submit questions directly to government officials * Learn about and sign up to participate in upcoming state government events * Follow the travel of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and top officials and commissioners * Submit ideas and policy questions to the Governor * Follow the executive branch with enhanced access on Facebook and Twitter * Sign up to receive e-mail, Facebook, and Twitter updates * Access the Governor’s daily and future schedules The first online chat will be hosted by Governor Cuomo; the second will be hosted by Insurance Superintendent Ben Lawsky who will answer questions about storm damage insurance claims and the third will be hosted by Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Joe Martens who will answer questions about hydrofracking. Robert Freeman, Executive Director of the Committee on Open Government said, “I congratulate Governor Cuomo for taking government transparency to a new level. By providing information of importance to the public, even before anyone asks for it, the website will give New Yorkers the opportunity to know how their government serves them and offer their points of view. This is a groundbreaking effort in bringing government closer to the people.” 9-26-11 |
