<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 19, 2012) A new report from a union-funded think tank finds that New York has the greatest income disparity in the nation. The Fiscal Policy Institute says that trend is continuing, with the top one percent gaining more financial resources, while the middle class falls behind and the numbers of poor increase.

<title>As local goverments struggle, NY State finances show signs of good health</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 3, 2012) Local governments in New York continue to flounder, but there are signs that the state&apos;s finances are improving as Governor Cuomo and his budget director Robert Megna announced last week that the state finally got an upgrade in an assessment from a major rating agency. Standard &amp; Poor&apos;s changed the state&apos;s outlook from &quot;stable&quot; to &quot;positive&quot;.  Megna says he hopes that lays the groundwork for an improvement in the state&apos;s credit rating, which has been ranked as weak for decades: &quot;This outlook revision is professional evidence from an outside observer that New York is once again on the right track.&quot; [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20413/20120903/as-local-goverments-struggle-ny-state-finances-show-signs-of-good-health">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>

<title>Cuomo: New York will move forward despite Supercommittee failure</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18816/20111123/cuomo-new-york-will-move-forward-despite-supercommittee-failure</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 23, 2011) The congressional supercommittee announced Monday that they’d failed to make a plan for reducing the federal deficit. This means that automatic cuts to a whole range of programs will go into effect starting in 2013. National lawmakers may reach agreements that avoid some of those cuts …but the supercommittee’s failure could make a huge difference for states. New York’s budget division estimates losses of  $5 billion in federal funding over the next decade.  That’s on top of the impact on Wall Street, which provides about 20% of state revenues. The state is already running a $3.25 billion deficit for next year’s budget. Governor Cuomo is working with his Council of Economic and Fiscal advisors, 19 executives, politicians and labor leaders  Cuomo put together as part of his transition team last year, to come up with a plan for how the state will handle the additional losses. Cuomo spoke yesterday on the WCNY&apos;s Capitol Pressroom host Susan Arbetter. She asked him how the supercommittee’s failure will affect individual New Yorkers: [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18816/20111123/cuomo-new-york-will-move-forward-despite-supercommittee-failure">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 25, 2008) We’ve been hearing a lot about President-elect Barack Obama&apos;s economic team.  They face some huge hurdles this winter, as they work to steady America&apos;s wobbly economy. As part of our series, A Fresh Start, we checked in with John Bogle, who spends much of each year in Lake Placid. In the 1970s, Bogle launched the Vanguard Group of investment funds.  In recent years, he&apos;s emerged as one of the country&apos;s leading investment ethicists, authoring books that include The Battle for the Soul of Capitalism. Bogle told Brian Mann that Obama&apos;s first challenge will be speaking honestly with the American people and restoring consumer confidence.

<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 8, 2008) Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke said the financial crisis could prolong the difficulty that the economy is facing.
