Upstate needs its own state.
I’ve been saying that for years. The cash drain to downstate is unsupportable. One is seven in the Metro area is on welfare. The subway system is a huge drain. Etc,etc. The Libs in NYS are out of control. I heard this morning that Paterson is going to pitch a pile of money to a local community college for an upgrade in physical plant, an action which surely could be put off until the financial picture in NYS stabilizes. sd
