SUMMARY:Alan Hevesi\, Comptroller\, State of NY
DESCRIPTION:Mr. Hevesi presides over the 2nd largest pension fund in the nation\, and by changing some rules the fund was able to save local governments about $1 billion\, while protecting the fund. Hevesi gave an insightful and informative overview of how major events such as the tech collapse\, and the events of 9/11\, have major impacts on jobs\, and state and city revenues. From tech collapse we lost about 160\,000 at an average rate of compensation of $253\,000. All of these high paid jobs have an enormous effect on the amount of tax dollars collected. He also spoke about my favorite gripe\, which is the gaming of the stock market. While Hevesi stated that most corporations are run with integrity\, those who have used the system dishonestly\, have discouraged investing in the market. This lack of confidence has left the wall street workers with 1/2 the number of trades they were used to. They suffered a proportional loss of income and that translates to a smaller number of dollars in taxes. He pointed out that a properly regulated market\, makes for confidence among the investor class. Hevesi spent a little time on the importance of auditing schools\, and that about 20 of them have been scheduled for complete audiits. My guess is that more than a few school officials are losing sleep. As is the case in most LIMBA meetings\, the Q&A period was lively. Hevesi seemed to really enjoy this part of the program\, as did the audience.

SUMMARY:Dr\, Albert Donor\, Pres of Dowling
DESCRIPTION: This morning’s speaker was introduced by Dr. Al Donor\, Dowling College’s president. Dr Donor proudly introduced the college’s new dean Dr. Debra Fleming.. Dr. Fleming\, an engaging “Our Miss Brooks” type\, took charge of the room and demonstrated her skills in involving the audience. The meeting was a little different from the usual format in that their was no clearly defined formal remarks\, followed by Q&A. Dr Fleming\, skilled public speaker that she is\, quickly moved to a running conversation with the audience.The conversation began on the theme that the “product\,” the student\, is not matched to the “customer\,” the employer. Moreover\, the college business model is out of date.Dr. Fleming showed the LIMBA audience some studies demonstrating some important aspects of the education process by states. New York\, not surprisingly\, showed a quality that rated an “A.” On the other hand\, another important aspect of education\, affordability\, New York rated an “F.” This is an important factor in getting education to the population that will need to fill the jobs that are to be created. All the time\, while this was being discussed\, the audience was part of the presentation. This a skillful way of keeping the audience engaged Dr\, Fleming appears to be a promising new addition to the institution and will have oversight of the Paul and Terry Townsend School of Business\, that has recently been established. Our best wishes to Dr. Fleming.

SUMMARY:Roger Tilles\, Exec Dir Tilles Center
DESCRIPTION:Our speaker\, Roger Tilles\, began with a very humorous story and then went on to discuss some serious issues.Roger explained the law suit that resulted in Long Island residence being asked to help fund NYC schools. The inequity according to Mr. Tilles is that there are schools right here on Long Island that are starved for cash. Why should we neglect the underserved schools on Long Island while funding NYC schools? Mr. Tilles rightfully points out that the taxes in NY City are low relative to Long Island\, and that’s where the money should come from first.  Another important issue is workforce housing\, which is wrongfully resisted on Long Island. Part of the controversy is that the issue brings out the racist instincts in some people. The argument can also be made that by resisting workforce housing we undermine the labor base that makes the region function. Moreover we undermine the ability for our own children to claim home ownership.  Mr. Tilles spent some time on discussing the arts\, and the importance of this segment of Long Island activity has on us\, and what we perceive as quality of life. Theater dance and musical presentations at the Tlles Center and other Long Island venues are as good or better than almost anywhere in the country. A second class arts entity is not what we are\, but we perceive ourselves as less than the best. It’s kind of a group inferiority complex.In the Q&A we asked numerous questions on the topics discussed\, and it was lively as usual.Next week and the week after that is Oct 1\, and Oct 8th there will be no meeting. On the 15th we will have John Waffenschmitt\, from American Refuels.  That meeting will be held at the dinning room at NYIT in Central Islip.
