On behalf of our residents, we ask you to consider supporting a hybrid development by rebuilding the elevated portion of Interstate 81 through Syracuse in conjunction with the “community grid” option currently proposed by the New York State Department of Transportation to address all public safety and welfare concerns.

In the April Legislative Session, our Republican members took up important items that make an immediate difference for County residents. Most important of these was a resolution to rescind the residential energy tax that was temporarily applied in June of last year.

In recent weeks, it has become clear that Onondaga County will receive $89 million in federal relief, and is expected to see a cut in State Aid of approximately $5 million. In light of this, the Republican Caucus of the Onondaga County Legislature is excited to have sponsored and adopted a resolution rescinding the residential energy sales tax.

County residents can be proud of their government’s solid financial standing. As we start on the path to recovery, Republican leaders continue to work closely with the County Executive to identify and plan key investments and initiatives to successfully move our community and economy forward.
