The Rochester Community Coalition needs your help to persuade elected officials to include the local initiatives on our agenda in the 2010-11 state budget.

On the coalition's 2010 agenda: state funding for three projects, as well as changes to state policy that will help our region create jobs.

For a full description of the 2010 priorities, click here.

You can help the coalition - and our community - by taking a few moments to fill out a brief form letter that will send a message of your support for our agenda to Gov. Paterson, Assembly Speaker Silver, and Senate Democratic Conference Leader Sampson.

It's free, and we pledge that your mailing address will NOT be used in any way other than to send this important letter to the representatives. Please click here to participate.
