Now he focuses his work on issues of health care, the economy and energy, former U.S. President Bill Clinton told an appreciative crowd that gathered, standing for hours, to hear him this afternoon at the Armory on East Main Street.
Clinton spoke for about 35 minutes at a political rally, held at the Armory, in support of Democratic Congresswomen Kathy Hochul and Louise Slaughter, who are each seeking reelection this fall.
"In my 12 years as governor (of Arkansas) and eight years as President, and all these years since," Clinton said, "I know what works ... and what works is removing all the barriers to growth."
He said, emphatically, that he also knows, "Trickle-down economics does not work ... what does work is cooperation ... not constant conflict."
He told the crowd, estimated at somewhere over 4,000, that health care "is an economic issue," and had facts and figures at his fingertips.
He also talked about taxes, making college affordable, and more, all the while stumping for the reelection of Slaughter and Hochul, who are facing heated challenges by Republicans Maggie Brooks and Chris Collins, respectively.
