Just some miscellaneous ramblings from an Upstate New Yorker.

Fixing Buffalo (Again)

 Driving through the City of Buffalo you will see houses with cracked windows, boarded up doors, and sagging or collapses roofs.
That's right folks, according to YNN, Buffalo is a disaster zone. Come to think about it, the (nutcase) Paladino was right on this one: Cuomo should have declared Buffalo and the surrounding area in an economic state of emergency. I would of. If you fix Buffalo, the rest will come.

I agree with Tolbert: something needs to be done. People should be living in those home, and not letting them fall into that shape. Buffalo needs companies, employers and thriving businesses and they should be able to come, whatever it takes.

I try not to drink the GOP kool-aid, but if unfunded mandates and other taxes are not only brought under control, etc, there won't be an upstate New York left for our kids.

I hate saying this, but Cuomo should be focused on getting upstate New York back on its feet and less time with gun control.

If elected to public office, I might be the only politician who will work under Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The hierarchy of needs should also apply to politics and what people want. As much as I'm for social reforms and the like, the economy, jobs and making sure people's basic needs are attended to is the first thing.

I can't believe I'm actually going to have to write to the governor about how the economy stinks in New York.
