I have definitive proof that Hollywood and the media lean toward the left. Conservatives have made this charge for years, but now it's official. Here is how I know:
Hollywood first. On Tuesday night's 'America's Got Talent' this week they paired off contestants for the elimination announcements. One of the pair would go on to the next round of the competition, the other would be sent home. Most of the winners were on the left. The ones on the right hand side were more likely to be sent home. That proves that Hollywood leans toward the left.

Over the month of August Lansing Principals Pettograsso, Thomas, and Brandtner and Director of Special Services and Grants Pam DiPaola reported to the Board Of Education on state wide tests and how Lansing students fared on them over the past three years. Test data came from 'No Child Left Behind' compliance tests, and also Regents and advanced placement tests.
While the data showed that there is room for improvement, the news was generally good for Lansing students. "At Lansing we're looking at more than just what you score on that test," said Superintendent Stephen Grimm. "If we helped them get onto that next phase of your life, we're preparing them for a good future."

 David Angelo Lansing's Board of Education voted to go ahead with an energy performance contract that could save the district $2,817,549 over 18 years. Board President Anne Drake has signed a contract with Johnson Controls, a Syracuse firm, to install energy conservation equipment in the Lansing schools that will provide $9,118,190 in energy cost savings. The company will monitor the performance of the improvements they make, and if the district doesn't realize at least $5,671,049 in savings Johnson Controls will write a check for the difference.
"If you don't make your savings Johnson Controls writes you a check," Johnson Control's David Angelo said. "It all fits within the parameters of when you get your first check from the state and when your first payment is due. And most importantly when your first state aid check is due so there will be no outflow of cash from the district before all of this kicks in."

New York State Senator Michael Nozzolio was at Ladoga Park Saturday to talk to residents about getting a railroad crossing reopened in their neighborhood. Norfolk Southern Railroad blocked the crossing in May, and residents have been up in arms since then, saying that closing the crossing halves access to their neighborhood, posing a safety hazard.
"I am approaching this from a safety standpoint, that it's the right thing to do to have the residents protected," Nozzolio says. "To insure that emergency vehicles can serve that area of great citizens who pay a lot of property taxes. I believe they deserve appropriate protection."

With that, Paloma Capanna secured her 1,000th individual donation in her “Change-for-Change” fundraising drive that has had her door-knocking throughout the 54th Senate District since June 3rd.
“Near everyone I speak with is fed up with Albany,” described Capanna, “Our campaign has attracted supporters who, like me, want to achieve the goal of reforming Albany from within by winning this election.”
