Time for Buffalo to roll up its sleeves. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo says the city will have to work for the $1 billion economic development bonanza he proposed in last week's State of the State address. The details of the fund remain to be revealed, but there's no doubt about Cuomo's support: "We must address the crisis in Western New York. It's gone on for too long. It's going to stop today.
