My brother lives in Henrietta outside Rochester. Politically, he is on the dark side. He has lived too long in NY. Also, he is a retired teacher as is his wife. They are beyond redemption, but it does make for some lively discussions when we get together.
I'm assuming they are public school teachers. If so, there's the issue... Never left the academic calendar, don't know what's it's like to only have 2-3 vacation weeks a year, dependent on tax dollars, strong belief in the concept of "wise elders" therefore defends judicial activism, etc. Viva socialism!
