In
a very relaxed and friendly visit, New York State Senator George
Latimer, from the 37th district, visited CW this week, speaking to
current students. Latimer discussed many important issues affecting
students such as healthcare, minimum wage and the Dream Act. Most
importantly, he allowed for a Q&A session addressing students’
concerns.
Senator Latimer’s visit is not a coincidence as Professor D’Allacco arranged it a few weeks ago while hosting a non-profit event: “Senator Latimer has attended Operation PROM events in the past. Operation PROM is a not-for-profit organization that helps low-income students attend their Proms by providing free Prom dresses and tuxedo rentals. In September, the Senator visited our fundraiser in Eastchester where we discussed opportunities for students. At that time, the Senator did not know I also taught at CW, so when I suggested having him in my class he told me that he would be thrilled to speak to students and answer their questions and concerns,” said Noel D'Allacco.
The Senator from the 37th district (which covers most of Bedford, Bronxville, Eastchester, Harrison, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Port Chester, Rye, Rye Brook, Tuckahoe, White Plains and Yonkers) had a lot of inspiring and encouraging words for CW students. “You have to be able to reach out to a Congressman when something is happening in Washington and say hey, I don’t like it, or I do support that. It matters that you understand when they make decisions that affect you; you have to have your voices heard,” said Senator Latimer. “If you are registered to vote and you are able to vote, you should be part of every debate because it affects you in one way or another,” Latimer added.
Some direct questions from students included property taxes, how his decisions as a Senator affect his personal life, and his childhood in Mount Vernon. On that personal note, the Senator said, “I go back all the time and speak to former neighbors still living there. Some of the neighborhoods have turned over, some of them look the same. The street where I grew up looks pretty much intact. The elementary school that I went to was burned down and rebuilt. When I visit I remember riding the local bus and taking out the garbage from my house to be collected the following day and my father asking me to do it. It involves a lot of sentimental feelings.”
