<strong>We can revitalize center, bring jobs<strong>

Endorsing the status quo is tantamount to having things remain the same. Rochester is in severe crisis with dwindling funds available and deserves critical introspection of where it is going. The future of the core of Rochester has been in a vacuum for too long. The Democratically led city let itself be held hostage by the Republican-controlled county. My position on Renaissance Square has been exactly the same since 2003.
Over this time, $20 million has been wasted. However, when I was interviewed by the Editorial Board for this election, the concern was about the $24 million that will not arrive due to the end of RenSquare. I said building RenSquare was akin to building the expressway through Corn Hill. If I and others had been listened to, we could have a strong center city today with plenty of jobs.
Don't blow our second chance for jobs. High-speed rail is the biggest economic development for upstate in 150 years, since the Erie Canal.
