Pancakes and (nonpartisan) politics

The pancakes and fixings (sausages, eggs, juice, coffee) will be served for breakfast this Sunday Oct. 27 at the Malta Ridge Fire House, Hearn Road and Route 9. It's our first fund-raiser in a while. Prices are still $7 for adults and teens, $3 for kids aged 6-12, and free for those under 6. Be there or be square.

On Thursday, our speaker was club member and state Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner (in yellow jacket at end of table). She took questions about energy mandates (she's skeptical) and GlobalFoundries (the structure of a new tax deal would be up to the Saratoga County IDA). She said improving health care is her top priority, noting that the quality of dental care is an indicator of longevity; and said Medicaid reimbursement rates are too low. 

"We need much better public transit up here," she said, which would, for example, provide a way for employees of Malta hotels to get to work.
