@nate_mcmurray: NATE CAST CLIP: I WISH WESTERN NEW YORK WOULD STOP GETTING IN ITS OWN WAY A lot of people voted for me. Niagara Falls showed up for me in a big way, and there’s a lot of hope here. But then I look at some of those numbers out in rural Western New York and think, holy cow, how far behind are we? I’m out of campaign mode now, so let me be frank. I spent time at those polls. I heard a lot of bitterness, a lot of ignorance, and some stuff that was just plain weird. And underneath a lot of it, I heard pain. People are struggling. And somehow the politicians who’ve been in charge around here for years keep convincing them that the real problem is some neighbor they’ve never even talked to. We’ve got families asking for help with contaminated yards. We’ve got a fight over what happens to downtown Niagara Falls. We could spend an entire election talking about things we can actually do something about. Instead, we spend half of it mad at people we’ve never met. I want us to get more curious, read a little more, and give a damn about somebody outside our own circle. Western New York has a habit of getting the memo ten years after everybody else. I’d love to get this one a little sooner.
