As President Obama met at the White House today with his South Korean counterpart, Lee Myung-bak, Peekskill Democratic Committee Chairman Darren Rigger was just returning from a 10-day exchange visit to the Republic of Korea sponsored by the State Department.
Rigger was one of six young (under 40) political and policy leaders from across the U. S. selected “to study Korea’s political system, engage in dialogue on international issues, and forge professional relationships and friendships,” according to a press release from The American Council of Young Political Leaders, a not-for-profit based in Washington, D.C.
“We’re running really behind their great technology,” Rigger said of the 100 percent “wired cities” he visited during his trip.
“We’ve got to learn not to assume that the only way to do things is the way we do them,” said Rigger, a member of the Westchester County Democratic Committee and a political consultant for Democratic Congressmen Charles Rangel, D-Harlem, and John Hall, D-Dover Plains.
“The biggest thing that sets us back in the U.S. is that we ask ‘how much’ instead of ‘how do we fix it,’” he said.
