Paulette chose the perfect metaphor to describe an affliction affecting many people in the Buffalo area. I have often referred to this same affliction by saying that people are failing to address the root cause(s) of our economic decline. It happens when people use window dressing and sleight of hand techniques while claiming progress. In reality, they are just perpetuating the problems that plague us.
Imagine your doctor discovering that you have an aggressive and life-threatening medical condition and telling you that accentuating the positive, making yourself look nice and saying great things about it will lead to your cure. That doctor would be sued so quickly his or her head would spin.

Has the wrong man been locked up in prison for 21 years for 2 rapes he did not commit?
Investigators now believe the Bike Path Rapist/Killer - now suspected in 10 attacks - could be responsible for as many as 17 attacks over the past 30 years, including two that put an innocent man in prison for 21 years.
There are many similarities between the 2 rapes leading to Capozzi’s conviction and the rapes allegedly performed by Sanchez.
Donn Esmonde weighs in with a column.
Delano is a Buffalo homicide cop, a rumpled bear of a man with a “before” body and a soft heart beneath a thick crust. His theory that the Bike Path rapist struck earlier than previously believed - 1981, not 1986 - led to clues that police say cracked the case. But in pursuit of justice, Delano believes he found an injustice.
A West Side man named Anthony Capozzi was charged in 1985 with three sexual assaults, in or near Delaware Park. He was convicted, without DNA evidence, of two rapes and has since been in prison.
Delano doesn’t think the rapist was Capozzi, who has a history of mental problems. Delano believes - based on numerous similarities to the Bike Path Rapist’s methods - that the attacks were the early work of Altemio Sanchez.
Delano, a cop for 28 years, said, “I would bet my career on it.”
