News & Updates on DMI’s middle class squeeze in NYC conference

UPDATE. More great video by Philip (aka Lipris) of The Albany Project. Here are highlights of Rep. Weiner, Boro President Carrion and Councilman Liu from the panel

We have had some great coverage of yesterday's conference with Baruch College. If you were watching New York 1 News this morning you may have caught some talk from their anchors and in their "In The Papers" segment. The paper in question being the two page spread the conference got in the New York Daily News including a column by Michael Daly. The New York Times ran an article, "At Policy Conference, Practice for Mayor's Race" in their Metro section plus two blog posts on their blog the Empire Zone.

There were a lot more and I'll post them up here shortly.
