Governor Cuomo’s $10 Million,

Plus Griffey Jr.-Piazza Bonanza

How much good economic news can we stand? Plenty, judging from this week's editions. The front page of Hometown Oneonta is a poster celebrating Governor Cuomo's choice of Oneonta as recipients of a $10 million Downtown Revitalization grant, an award aimed at nudging the City of the Hills over the "tipping point" to renewed prosperity. The Freeman's Journal records the good economic news from the huge, just-completed Inductions of Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza, which brought the second-largest crowd – an estimated 50,000 – to the county last weekend. Plus, photo after photo of local people enjoying all that Induction Weekend has to offer.
