In the State of the Union address Pres. Obama suggested states raise the school drop out age to 18. This week the Empire Page Poll Question of the Week asks you whether you agree with the President on this issue.

Pension Reform

Last week we asked people to grade Gov. Cuomo on his pension reform plan. That question drew the largest participation in any poll question ever offered on the Empire Page — nearly 5,000 people voted. The results? 84% gave the governor a failing grade of F; 5% an A, 3% a B and 8% a C.

We thank everyone who participated in that poll and urge them to vote this week as well.
