With the post election lull, we were able to spend some time surfing the web for interesting regional reading.  We came across "
Medieval Madness"  [pdf] by Charles Carino and Frank Giotto, a story about this area -- our story -- how we grew as a region and where we might go.  While we might disagree here and there on certain points, the ultimate conclusion, consolidation of all Greater Utica municipalities, is one we see as a possible solution to many of our regional problems.
It's worth the read. It is informative,  gets you thinking, and is written in a style that is entertaining.  For example, on how Utica got its name:
I'm glad the tag said "Utica"
When they pulled it from the hat.
It could have said "Size Seven."
What kind of name is that?
