Gov. Andrew Cuomo: Get your butt out of Albany and go see how the rest of your state lives. Or you might not have much of a state left. One memory that stands out from my 1970s tenure as a reporter in New York's Southern Tier is that of an economy stuck in reverse. Broome County centers around Binghamton, a city of 47,000 that has lost nearly half its population since the 1950s. Binghamton was a hotbed of business development dating back to the early 1900s when thousands of immigrants got off the boats asking "Which way EJ?" then headed upstate to "The Home of the Square Deal" in nearby Endicott and Johnson City to the once-famous Endicott-Johnson shoe company. Thomas Watson started IBM in Endicott where it kept its largest facilities until the early 1990s. By the time I came along Binghamton was struggling to retain its few remaining commercial and industrial businesses. People left because there were no jobs.
