OPINIONS

From The Publisher

	Explaining “risk” to the White House
	Risk: “The possibility of suffering harm or loss.” (American Heritage Dictionary, 3rd edition) In his opinion piece in the March 5 issue, The Central New York Business Journal’s editor-in-chief, Adam Rombel, wrote about uncertainty in the business community. The result of this uncertainty is employers’ continuing reluctance to take risks.
