This town hall will take a look at the inequality created when wealth holds the power to make policies that affect us all.

From Sheldon Silver to Michael Grimm, political corruption is becoming so commonplace that it's hard for voters to feel they have a voice. A ballot is cast and the elected official goes to work, but the system in place can make your vote seems like pennies compared to funding from big donors and corporations.

Is there a way for the average citizen to have a say in a pay to play system? How do we approach changing the policies that pit community voice against big money?
