NEW YORK, NY (08/05/2010)– BALCONY, the Business and Labor Coalition of New York (www.balconynewyork.com), today, Wednesday, announced 21 new members since January 2010. The members of BALCONY include labor unions, businesses, trade associations, not-for-profits, and chambers of commerce.

Bruce Ventimiglia, co-chair of BALCONY and president and chairman of Saratoga Capital Management, expressed his excitement that the BALCONY coalition (formed in 2006) is growing so rapidly, “It’s really great to see the commitment BALCONY has received from both the business and labor ends of the spectrum as they are coming together to find common ground on New York public policy issues that effect all of us.”

“It is wonderful to see so much interest in BALCONY and what it represents,” said Alan Lubin, a co-chair of BALCONY and formerly the Executive Vice President of the New York State United Teachers, “what’s great about our members is that they know it’s not what you get out of BALCONY that’s important, but what you put into it. We don’t always agree on everything, but we are all deeply committed to finding and pursuing common sense, common ground solutions to the problems facing New Yorkers.”
