Introducing the first Merrill "Hilltern!"

The title sounds slightly degrading, but that's what the legions of young people staffing the offices of 435 members of the U.S. Congress call themselves, so that's the term we'll use in this historical record! If you hadn't guessed yet, Greta will be working for Rep. Paul Tonko, our local Schenectady County congressman and a true blue Democrat, this summer. It's a 10-week program that requires her to clock 30 hours each week and will help her pay her share of an apartment with friends on Massachusetts Ave. We'll get to see her in Niskayuna for a couple weeks in May before the "Hillternship" begins in June and then some more in August after her 10-weeks are up. Yay!
