Despite housing more than 40% of the state's population, the City of New York gets less than 10% of the cash handed out in Governor Cuomo's Regional Economic Development program. The awards were announced yesterday with the Big Apple getting $57M compared to the North Country region receiving $81 M.
Of course, there are lots of other moving parts in how the state shuffles money around, but as this story suggests, there are those downstate who think the city that never sleeps gets shortchanged.
Everything in life is a matter of perspective.
