Know your constituency. It's the first rule of local politics.
The second: What happens in New York City usually can only happen in New York City, and is best kept there.
Policies that fit The Big Apple don't fit a town that is, say, known statewide for its Apple Festival.
Just ask Democrat Pete Lagiovane, the mayor of this Franklin County town who won't return to office in January. He lost his bid for re-election to a seat he won unopposed the last time in part because he signed up Chambersburg as one of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's anti-gun cities.
