Malcolm Smith is in Washington today to meet with the President.

Friday’s meeting follows a bi-partisan Senate delegation visit last month to the Capitol to meet with U.S. Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand and our state’s congressional delegation, as well as White House officials. The New York State Senate delegation was the first state delegation in the nation to meet with Obama Administration officials.

Senator Smith will be participating in a national meeting with other state
legislative leaders convened by the National Conference of State Legislatures in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. A major focus of that meeting will be the federal stimulus package and how it can be used to grow our economy.

Good. They're doing stuff.
