Most of the discussion revolved around changes to the Triphammer Road entrance to the mall. A traffic island will route shoppers to the main parking area. "The reconfiguration of the driveway will be an improvement over the existing conditions," said Village Engineer Brent Cross.

 With health care and the economy at crisis proportions, Ithaca Oral Surgeon Scott Noren has decided to do something about it. Next year he will challenge U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand in the Democratic primary leading up to the 2012 election. Noren's top issues are fixing health care and campaign finance reform, which he says are inextricably linked.
"Health care is one of the top issues, but it's married intimately with campaign finance reform," he says. "The insurance lobby has its clutches on the Congress and Senate. Nothing meaningful will happen until you get rid of lobby money."

 WASHINGTON, DC –U.S. Rep. Michael Arcuri (NY-24) announced that the federal Income Based Repayment (IBR) program began as of yesterday, July 1, 2009 to help borrowers pay back their loans in an affordable and fair way.
“Our regions students should not be over-burdened by loan payments that do not fairly reflect their income,” Arcuri said, “The Income Based Repayment Program levels the playing field and allows borrowers to make loan payments that they can afford. I am hopeful that this program will also encourage students who were not considering college because of the high cost of loans to reconsider because of this program.”
