Two cities. Same state. Totally different outcomes.

Hornell: fewer than 10,000 people, zero homicides.
Rochester: over 200,000 residents, 81 murders in a single year.

Why the difference? Leadership. Culture. Accountability.

Today on The Next Steps Show, we’re joined by Hornell Mayor John J. Buckley—a two-term, blue-collar leader who runs his city with backbone, budgets, and boots on the ground.

We’re breaking down what big cities won’t admit: smaller towns are getting it right—less crime, stronger schools, fewer overdoses—not because of state handouts, but because of consistent leadership and real community ties.

We’ll also recognize Parental Alienation Awareness Day—not a courtroom injustice, but a cautionary tale of what happens when emotional reactions replace emotional intelligence. Discernment matters—for the sake of our families and our future.

We’re live now. Join the conversation. The truth matters.

This isn’t politics—it’s reality. And we’re telling it straight.

This is the Next Steps Show—no spin, no filter. Tune in. Engage. Decide.

Live at Noon. Don’t miss it.
