Your Kind of Day?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a "Fed Day" as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day. Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days."

Lawmakers to Question Kessel Next Week: Legislators to Raise Issues Tied to Suit

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:48:00 GMT

Jul. 21--LOCKPORT -- New York Power Authority President Richard M. Kessel will appear at next week's Niagara County Legislature meeting to face questions about issues that led the county to sue the Power Authority earlier this year.
Legislature Chairman William L. Ross said Monday that he has received confirmation from Power Authority headquarters that Kessel will attend the July 28 Legislature meeting, which starts at 7 p. m. in the County Courthouse, Park Avenue and Hawley Street.
"They'll probably talk about the sweep," Ross said, referring to the Power Authority's decision to send $544 million of its surplus funds to the general state treasury to help try to balance the regular state budget.
