Without starting an upstate/downstate argument... I would hardly characterize NYC as "bolstering" NYS. NYS just recently bailed out millions of $$ of NYC debt from the '70's. I think there is more of an inbalance between the funds that flow from NYS to the Federal government. Upstate NY has been economically dead for 60 years due in large part to a tax code and laws written with NYC in mind, and all state attention focuses on NYC crises.

Upstate NY is a hell of a lot nicer than Alabama. Have you ever been to either?
