Westchester On the Level with Narog and Aris

Oren M. Levin-Waldman, Ph.D., Professor, Graduate School for Public Affairs and Administration at The Metropolitan College of New York, has just written "Minimum Wage Supporters Need to Learn How to Socialize Conflict" which dissects the famous work by political scientist E.E. Schattsschneider work in "The Semisovereign People," which describes two sides to a conflict, those involved, the actors, and those sitting on the sidelines, the spectators. We'll learn the role each plays in the dynamic of life, politics, and, yes, the minimum wage. Enjoy an hour that reveals much in the palatable approach expressed by the professor who opens the hour this Wednesday, July 29, 2015 @ 10am

Dan Murphy, Editor-in-Chief of the Rising Media Group attends the program at 11am. The issues tend to revolve about the City of Yonkers. Join in the mix.

Rubén Díaz Jr., President, The Borough of the Bronx, attendd the program day at 11:30am. Scheduled to appear for over a week's time, we today learned the New York State Department of Labor revealed increased job numbers continuing a steady drop in the borough's unemployment rate. We'll learn what it has taken to turn the borough around. While prospects for continuing investment in The Bronx are strong, the likely Puerto Rico's Municipal Bond meltdown is analogous to that of Greece. The default deadline is this Saturday, August 1, 2015. At issue is whether the $70 billion debt could affect The Bronx, New York City, and many Caribbean Islands. Is Puerto Rico too big to fail? We'll find out what the ramifications may be.
