WXXI On-line ........................ www.wxxi.org from PBS stations across the country to advocate on behalf of public media. Our goal was to remind policymakers about the important work public media does in our communities and to remind Congress that PBS is rated #1 in public trust among nationally known institutions. Federal funding for public media is only a small piece of the final federal budget, less than 0.01%, but without it, WXXI and PBS stations across the country would not be able to provide viewers like you the same high quality programs and services that we do today. We had a very favorable reception from our local Representatives from both sides of the aisle, but we still need your help (especially since the President’s budget is expected to again try to zero-out our federal funding). You can participate in this effort by sharing why public media is important to you. Please visit Protect My Public Media’s website at: protectmypublicmedia.org and submit your own testimonial. Your support – through advocacy and membership – enables us to educate, inspire, and engage our community through in-depth news reporting, meaningful educational services, and quality programming. That includes local productions that spotlight people and places in our region. That’s why I’m so proud to share the news that Opioids from Inside, a documentary that WXXI served as co-producer on, has been nominated for four New York Emmy Awards and Turn the Page, Election Day, and Brewed in New York, of which WXXI served as the presenting station, have received a total of nine nominations. Altogether, WXXI and our local partners received 13 New York Emmy nominations. That’s something to be excited about! As we’ve said many times, thanks for your support, which makes it all possible. Happy Spring!

Jack says, “Our tagline, ‘Live a Richer Life,’ reflects our wishes for our clients, our community, and our own team to appreciate and embrace a life of purpose, passion, and joy.” WXXI sits down with Jack to learn more about trends in investing. Q. What’s the Two Point Investment Approach? We assess companies’ long-term performance over two dimensions (Quality+Value™), construct portfolios of individual stocks and bonds tailored to the risk-and return preferences of each client, and proactively manage those portfolios. Q. Thoughts on cryptocurrency? The rate at which hundreds of millions of dollars of cryptocurrency is vanishing, “lost,” or stolen EVENTS indicates that the underlying blockchain technology—though powerful—isn’t yet suitable as the basis for a currency. Q. How is artificial intelligence (AI) impacting private wealth management? & Some firms are using it, but AI in its current state cannot perform the complicated reasoning that sophisticated securities investors bring to bear. Q. What are the most noticeable shift in trends related to retirement goal priorities? People are more focused on leading active lives, and pursuing new interests. Q. Tips on successful charitable planning? Due diligence based on what matters to you is key—start with an issue dear to your heart, and let your passion guide your research into relevant organizations. Consider volunteering or serving first. Review your investments and finances before any measurable increase in giving. Remember, gifting appreciated stock can help you give and save on taxes at the same time. https://TwoPointCapital.com @twopointcapital @twopointcapital NEWS JACK MCGOWAN FOUNDER To learn more about underwriting on WXXI, email [email protected] LILLIAN JOHNSON WINS THE GENEVA ON THE LAKE GETAWAY!

  • Immigration Advocate Weighs in on Trump Administration's Move to End Flores Agreement
    WAMU 88.5 BBC World Service NEWSCAST DONATE LIVE RADIO SHOWS NATIONAL Immigration Advocate Weighs In On Trump Administration's Move To End Flores Agreement LISTEN · 4:59 PLAYLIST Download Transcript August 21, 2019 · 5:19 PM ET Heard on All Things Considered NPR's Audie Cornish speaks with Wendy Young, president of the child advocacy organization KIND, about President Trump's moves to change requirements for the detention of migrant children. AUDIE CORNISH, HOST: The Trump administration is moving to allow the government to detain migrant families with children indefinitely. The Department of Homeland Security announced today that they plan to publish a new regulation that would eliminate the current 20- day limit on the detention of minors. That 20-day limit stems from a 1997 court settlement called the Flores Agreement that governs conditions for migrant children in federal care. Acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan blamed the Flores Settlement for the influx of hundreds of thousands of migrants at the southern border. (SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING) KEVIN MCALEENAN: The driving factor for this crisis is weakness in our legal framework for immigration. Human smugglers advertise, and intending migrants know well that even if they cross the border illegally, arriving at our border with a child has meant that they will be released into the United States to wait for court proceedings that could take five years or more. CORNISH: The government is set to publish the final rule on Friday. It will require approval from a federal judge before can go into effect. We're joined now by Wendy Young.
