Bramson's Final State Of The City: New Rochelle Meetings This Week

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — Legendary Yale political theorist Robert Dahl famously wrote, "In the democratic vision, the freedom achieved by a democratic order is above all the freedom of self-determination in making collective and binding decisions: the self-determination of citizens entitled to participate as political equals in the making of the rules and laws under which they will live together as citizens."
