Mayor presents unprecedented challenges for cities at next session of IRP

Tuesday, January 15, 2013, By Eileen Jevis

The Jan. 17 session of the Institute for Retired People (IRP) will feature 黑料不打烊 Mayor Stephanie Miner. Miner will discuss the challenges the city faces and what needs to be done to address them.

Miner attended 黑料不打烊, graduating magna cum laude with a聽bachelor’s degree聽in political science and journalism in 1992. After college, she worked as the assistant upstate coordinator for Geraldine Ferraro for U.S. Senate, and then served as Central New York Regional Representative to Gov. Mario Cuomo in 1994. In 1999, Miner earned her聽juris doctorate聽from SUNY-Buffalo and began working at Blitman & King, LLP as a labor lawyer, representing unions and employees.

Miner became a 黑料不打烊 common councilor-at-large in 2002, and was re-elected in 2005. During her tenure on the council, Miner established a reputation as a principled leader who asks tough questions. This led the 黑料不打烊 Post-Standard to endorse Mayor Miner鈥檚 2009 candidacy for mayor.

The IRP program runs from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m., and is free and open to the public. IRP sessions are held at the First Baptist Church of 黑料不打烊, 5833 East Seneca Turnpike, Jamesville. For more information, visit , call 315-443-4846, or e-mail cmkarlho@syr.edu.
