i would like to switch the USGS based state border of NY for what i perceive
to be the somewhat more accurate borders from TIGER.  i've temporarily 
stalled
on bringing in town borders from TIGER because of discrepancies along the
state line between NY and New England. i gather that many of the state 
borders
are USGS and that the TIGER borders may be better. this is a non-trivial 
exercise
as any county/town borders that share ways with the state borders will 
need to
be fixed up.
