UPDATE: Victims Identified

________________________________The North Country, which includes Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties and which once again was named a “top performer” in the Governor’s annual economic growth competition, will receive $81.3 million. The Central New York region, including Oswego County, is in line for $66.9 million in economic development investment by the state.
________________________________Today’s News In The Raider: NFL picks, All-league Raiders and a pair of 2008 GRB grads who are taking Shanghai by storm. It’s all here in today’s edition of RaiderNet Daily.

________________________________UPDATE: Two residents of 98 E. Cayuga St. Oswego are under arrest following an investigation into a possible Meth lab in Oswego. It is the second such investigation within a week.
________________________________It is hardly surprising then that the Governor, being the politician that he is, has appointed not one, but two, commissions to examine how to reform New York’s tax system. The first commission he appointed, with the Orwellian name, “New York State Tax Reform and Fairness Commission” released its report last month. Notwithstanding its name, the report contains some good ideas on how New York should reform its tax structure.
________________________________This time of year, get-togethers are not only a great way to spend quality time with family and friends, they are also an opportunity to treat ourselves to our favorites, whether it be Christmas cookies, hot cocoa, mulled cider, eggnog or any of the season’s specialties. Much of the food and drink we enjoy during the holidays (and in fact year-round) is produced right here in New York.
