SUMMARY OF TALK

Our club always is pleased to welcome Sandy Galef , whom we know well, to join us.  Sandy carefully watches Governor Cuomo, whom she especially admires and follows his goals.  The state has a huge deficit of 2.5 billion.  Work programs prevent unfair gas pricing based on geographical locations.  State aid to public school districts, libraries, BOCES and Community College was passed.  Before we allow any hydrofracturing for natural gas, the assembly passed a bill that called for a health assessment of environmental hazards. The Tappan Zee Bridge was built in war time with steel that was not top quality.  Consolidation of the Ossining town and village court will lend to better organization.

Friday – Roger Risko on Rotary Seniors. He is all set and prepared to provide Rotary members a very concise, informative and interesting presentation about the history of  current activities, and the future of "Elderact" as a sponsored activity and eventually a new level of Rotary Service worldwide.  Roger Risko, District Adviser for Elderact, Radio Rotary, Interact and Rotaract

SPEAKER AND SUBJECT – Dr. Kris Chittur – India’s Political System

SUMMARY OF TALK

India is about one third of the size of the United States but has three times as many people.  New Delhi is the capital.  In 1947 Great Britain granted India independence.  The actual head of government is the Prime Minister. He is chosen by the members of parliament which can put the Prime Minister out of office at any time.  The political system is unlike the United States, more like the British monarchy.  Mrs. Indira Gandhi was the primary head of state and not related to the late and famous Mohandas Gandhi.  Today powerful playwrights and popular actresses are in charge of the administration.
