Investors like divided govt: US stocks up 1-2% at the open, DJIA +1,000 pts. Divided govt means no one gets all the keys, we can all work and go about our business! #BullMarket

RCSD's Board had demonstrated a complete lack of competence at nearly everything it has done since my kids start at a City school back in 1989. Nothing has changed, and thousands of children have been abandoned by that revolving door of morons.
RCSD is preparing to shift away from using Rochester Police officers for school safety and rely on internal security instead. Kristi Blake breaks down RCSD's school safety plan on News10NBC TODAY at the top of every half hour. whec.com/livestream/
In 1981, when I was working a few blocks away at St Mary's Hospital, the City of Rochester came up with the stupid "woonerf" idea. The late D&C touted it as brilliant. Genesee Street was bad then. It's worse 45 yrs later, yet the city wasted money putting up a new sign.
The financial media has told me how and when to worry many times. It rarely means worry is warranted. wsj.com/finance/stocks/narro…

Suffolk taxpayers: why are my property taxes so high?
Suffolk pols: no Mr. 47-year-old retiree, we wouldn't dream of making you contribute toward your family coverage. Can I count on the PBAs support in November?
Suffolk reaches a healthcare agreement with its unions that includes $0 premiums for all retirees but increased copays for GLP-1 weight-loss drugs and higher out-of-network costs. newsday.com/news/health/suff…
