Good Jobs First speaker to be at YSU on Tuesday, March 22,2011
********
Dubbed "the leading national watchdog of state and local economic development subsidies" and "God's witness to corporate welfare," Greg LeRoy founded Good Jobs First in 1998 upon winning the Public Interest Pioneer Award. He has been writing, training, and consulting for state and local governments, associations of public officials, labor-management committees, unions, community groups, tax and budget watchdogs, environmentalists, and smart growth advocates more than 25 years. GJF has partnered with the Fiscal Policy Institute to launch Good Jobs New York in 2000 and the Corporate Research Project in 2001. LeRoy has built a full-service resource center for constituency-based organizations and public officials seeking to reform economic development. He has also led GJF's work on smart growth and tax increment financing.

The lecture is free and open to the public. It will be held in the Ohio Room of YSU's Kilcawley Center on Tuesday, March 22, 2011, at 7:30pm. The lecture is sponsored by the CWCS and the Mahoning Valley Organizing Collaborative.
