Obama update
I'm here in the newsroom on my day off with an important update related to President Barack Obama's visit to Hudson Valley Community College tomorrow.
Although I initially thought that I was going to be left on the sidelines for the visit, it turns out that myself and colleague Paul Post were give The Saratogian's two credentials to get inside the Hudson Valley campus automotive lab where the President will be speaking Monday.
The availability of Internet is not certain at this time, but my task for the day (along with assisting Paul and Troy Record reporters) will be to post live updates on the event right here, at The City Desk.
I promise you, readers, I will find a way to keep the blog updated and fresh throughout the morning, beginning from our arrival at the HVCC campus.
If you're planning on following the event closely, Paul and I, along with photographer Erica Miller and Asst. Managing Editor Betsy Demars are going to depart The Saratogian at 7 a.m., and should be set up in the campus by 8. Updates will begin shortly thereafter.
Stay tuned, and please join others interested in the event by posting comments here on the blog.

Andrew,
An exciting topic for sure but they are tooting the horn on the Global Foundry while NYS gave them $600 million to help pay for the project and yet it will not be a green facility with green jobs. This Global Foundries plant will use huge quantities of energy and there has been no discussion on making it efficient and green.The state has required all its own projects to be green and the stimulus program has been talking green jobs.
