Mount Kisco Million

Should be enough cash to refurbish a really nice six-car garage for the governor.

Peekskill Power-up

Some locals aren’t psyched about losing the Indian Point nuclear power plant. So let’s build hydroelectric on the Hudson!

Schenectady Scheme

So the casino plan didn’t really work. But what if the state doubled down and pressed its luck on another casino?

Troy Trillion

This old textile town is going to need more than a presidential campaign office to thrive.
