	Paladino: The Politics of Agitation by Mike Madigan
	Agitation is a persistent “annoyance” that eventually evokes a response. Most people prefer a less dramatic and less confrontational approach. This approach has been the path chosen in Buffalo for over 50 years, yielding progressively worse results. The Buffalo Public Schools are rated one of the worst in the nation, with an astounding 28 of the worst schools in the country located here and fewer than 20 percent of black males graduating. As a result, Buffalo is the third most impoverished city in the country.
	AV Influence Survey: Bill Nowak on the Grassroots by Bill Nowak
	I consider a whole spectrum of folks who are organized at a grassroots level to be positive influences on WNY—from active unionists, to Occupy Buffalo activists, to Citizen Action of NY, to those involved in food co-ops and credit unions, to anti-violence folks like MAD DADs and the Western New York Peace Center, and those who are pushing us toward sustainability and the green economy such as the Sierra Club, PUSH Buffalo, the Outsource Center, the Foundry, Riverkeeper, and GreenWorks.
