Welcome to the Finger Lakes! Our theme song:


In a town this size, there's no place to hide
Everywhere you go, you meet someone you know...
In a smokey bar, in the backseat of your car
In your own little house, someone's sure to find you out
What you do and what you think
What you eat and what you drink...

His mandate is broad, indeed

Oops!

Worried about poor results from New York's most-expensive-in-the-country public schools?  Relax, Andy Cuomo has appointed millionaire vineyard owner Richard Parsons to fix everything.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Monday that he has named leading education officials to a New York Education Reform Commission to look at ways to improve the state's school system.
Richard Parsons, the retired chairman of Citigroup, will chair the 20-member commission.
The commission's naming comes after Cuomo and state lawmakers agreed in February to a new evaluation system for teachers. He and the Legislature are also deciding whether to make teacher evaluations public.
Cuomo said the "mandate before this commission is broad."
Actually, Parsons is a man who dated a broad.
It's no secret that Citigroup board Chairman Richard Parsons has been working for months to repair the financial giant.
But, until now, even his closest associates didn't know he also was wrestling with a personal crisis - how to tell his wife and three children he has fathered a child with another woman.
Parsons and model-philanthropist MacDella Cooper are the parents of a baby girl named Ella.
Andy, if you want to be president, you'll need to man up to the teachers' unions and support school choice.
