The Citistates Group presents

Welcome to Citiwire.net — September 25, 2008.

Welcome to Citiwire.net! How can we justify the incredible sums to bail out Wall Street, its greed and malfeasance, and then say we’re too poor to make the fundamental infrastructure and human capital investments that are critical for the future of our country’s communities? Apologies if I sound hot under the collar making that point this week; I really mean it. In cooler fashion, former Mayors Bill Hudnut and Charles Royer, members of our Citistates Group, note in the Citiwire.net column that a range of essential issues for “Hometown America” were being ignored 20 years ago — and still are today.
