Finger Lakes Today

Year after year, New Yorkers listen to the Governor's State of the State Address, which attempts to tackle issues such as the state's migrant crisis, affordability concerns, and public safety policies. However, there is criticism that these speeches are filled with "half-truths and hollow promises" that do not lead to tangible improvements for communities.

Critics argue that living in New York has become "unaffordable, unsafe and unrealistic," leading many residents to leave the state. There is a call for "concrete, common-sense solutions" to improve the situation for Upstate New Yorkers. The sentiment expressed suggests disappointment with the current administration's ability to address these pressing issues effectively.
