WCA to host ‘Report from Washington’ event

The Westchester County Association will host “Report from Washington, a roundtable discussion featuring a trio of area Democrats in Congress, on March 6 at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel in Tarrytown.

The breakfast event will run from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and include Reps. Nita Lowey, Eliot Engel and Sean Patrick Maloney.
They will discuss issues that are before Congress and what those mean for Westchester County. Among the topics, the conversation will focus on the Affordable Care Act, the Trump administration”™s infrastructure spending pledge, immigration and tax policies.

“As Westchester is on the cusp of major economic success, especially as we embrace smart growth and gigabit-speed internet, we want to know how we will be impacted, and what our representatives forecast for the next session of Congress,” said William M. Mooney Jr., president and CEO of the WCA. “To be able to hear what they have to say and for us to share our views and ask how what happens in Washington will affect Westchester presents an enormous opportunity.”

The event will be moderated by Alex Silverman of WCBS News 88.
