Kingston, NY – DURING THE NOVEMBER MID-TERM ELECTIONS, MANY OF THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES RAN ON THE PREMISE THAT THEY WEREN'T REPUBLICANS'. THEY TOOK A STAND ON PARTICULAR ISSUES, SUCH AS THE WAR IN IRAQ, RETIREMENT SECURITY, THE ENVIRONMENT, THE ECONOMY, AND HEALTH CARE. TODAY WE HAVE OUR THIRD INSTALLMENT IN OUR CONGRESSIONAL ISSUES SERIES, WHERE EACH OF WAMC'S BUREAU CHIEF REPORTS ON WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR THE INCOMING CONGRESS AND HOW LAWMAKERS PLAN TO TACKLE THE ISSUES.
HUDSON VALLEY BUREAU CHIEF JULIA TAYLOR TOOK A LOOK AT SOCIAL SECURITY AND RETIREMENT, WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA...AND WHAT'S UNLIKELY TO APPEAR IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS.
