••• From State Senator Dan Squadron: “I would like to invite you to join me in a discussion about what’s next in Albany and the community.  The discussion will serve as an update on last spring’s Community Convention and offer you an opportunity to share your thoughts before the new legislative session. In April, more than 350 community members joined me for the Second Annual 25th Senate District Community Convention, where I received valuable input on issues as diverse as school overcrowding, nightlife concerns and pedestrian safety. In this community discussion, I will update folks about progress we have made on topics raised at the convention, as well as take new questions and comments about issues in Albany and in the neighborhood.” The one for Lower Manhattan, Battery Park City, Tribeca, Financial District, and Soho is Thursday, Dec. 9, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., at the Manhattan Youth Downtown Community Center (120 Warren, at West).
