Breaking News: Rochesterturning receives a COMIDA grant
At a catered luncheon at the new SlushFunders (TM) restaurant downtown, the County of Monroe Industrial Development Agency (COMIDA) announced that Rochesterturning (um, that would be this blog) received a COMIDA benefits in exchange for creating a vibrant progressive community.

Jon Greenbaum of Metro Justice commented,
“Gosh darn, We have been trying to get COMIDA’s attention for a long time. I suppose we will have to console ourselves, as we redouble or efforts. But heck, thanks for the free lunch!”

Congratulations! How strange, because today in a special election, I was made County Executive of Fantasyland.
I suppose the first thing you will do is buy up 10 houses in a row somewhere in the city, knock them all down, and building your new HQ, complete with a free lunch everyday for Jon Greenbaum.
I knew I should have been bringing sweet treats to the RT staffers. Is it too late to amend my wicked ways?
