Morning News: Protesters and the VA

Reader Elmer sends the Corning Leader's coverage (here [pdf] and here [pdf]) of yesterday's Americans Against Escalation in Iraq news conference in Bath.

The Veterans Administration has announced major new plans for the facility in Canandaigua. A new 50-bed residential rehab facility and 120-bed nursing home will be constructed on the campus. The facility will also partner with the University of Rochester to create a Center of Excellence that focuses on suicide prevention. The possible closing or downsizing of this VA hospital was an issue in the last campaign. Randy Kuhl was not mentioned in either the Democrat and Chronicle or the Messenger-Post coverage.
