An article in the Wall Street Journal about the rift between upstate and downstate political interests and the affect it could have on the gubernatorial election includes among voter's complaints the failure of New York City legislators to grant UB more independence, and reports that upstate voters are more dissatisfied with the way things are going in the state than those in New York City and its suburbs.
