LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE TWIN TIERS...TONIGHT IS MY LAST NIGHT GIVING COMMENTARY AND OPINION ON WETM TELEVISION.
AS MANY OF YOU MAY KNOW…AFTER 2400 COMMENTARIES AND HUNDREDS OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS PROGRAMS…I'LL BE LEAVING TELEVISION AS A REGULAR COMMENTATOR, POLITICAL ANALYST, AND TALK SHOW HOST TO DEVOTE MY FULL ATTENTION TO MY NEW POSITION AS ACADEMIC VICE PRESIDENT AND DEAN OF FACULTY AT ELMIRA COLLEGE.
I'VE ENJOYED THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE COMMENTARY AND ANALYSIS IN THE TWIN TIERS OVER THE PAST FIFTEEN YEARS THANKS FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING PART OF YOUR LIVES. IT HAS BEEN AN HONOR.
PLEASE KNOW THAT I WILL NOT BE DISAPPEARING. FROM TIME TO TIME, I WILL STILL BE PROVIDING EXPERT ANALYSIS ON THE ISSUES OF THE DAY. YOU KNOW...MANY OF YOU HAVE ASKED ME IF I WILL EVER RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE. WELL...THAT IS ON MY LIST FOR SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE. LIKE MOST THINGS IN LIFE, IT'S A MATTER OF TIMING.
SO A FINAL THANK YOU TO YOU THE VIEWERS AS WELL AS THE MANAGEMENT AND STAFF AT WETM-TV...ESPECIALLY RANDY REID, SCOTT NICHOLS, AND SCOTT IDDINGS. MY FINAL COMMENT IS THIS: THAT'S MY OPINION...AND I HOPE IT'S YOURS.
