| The New York State Consumer Protection Board is on your
SYDE!
Please JOIN our Stretch Your Dollar Effort. | |
| The New York State Consumer Protection Board (CPB) launched a new campaign
on behalf of consumers who are trying to make their dollar go further
during these times of financial constraint and economic hardship. While
many consumers have said they're struggling, several have risen to the
challenge, devising good strategies to cut spending and save money. With
that in mind, the CPB has launched its Stretching Your Dollars Effort
(SYDE), to enable consumers to share their coping strategies with others
by e-mailing or sending a written, audio or video tip to the CPB. In
compiling the list of strategies, the Agency will be providing the public
with a single point-of-reference for dollar-stretching tips that apply to
many spending contexts. In addition, Governor David A. Paterson announced a historic collaboration with George Soros and the Open Society Institute (OSI) that will provide one-time, $200 grants to more than 800,000 children in low-income families across New York State to help purchase school supplies as they prepare to return to class in September. This first-of-its-kind partnership in New York is an example of how the public and private sectors can work together to foster a brighter future for the low-income families of our State.

Please add your own suggestions by sending an email or a downloadable audio or video clip to my2cents@consumer.state.ny.us. Consumers are urged to log on often to view new information as it is published. | |
