“Syracuse council handily overrides Miner veto, erasing Land Bank funds and reducing OT”
“The Common Council easily overturned 11 budget vetoes from Mayor Stephanie Miner Monday afternoon. The council overrode Miner with a vote of eight to one to cut funding for the Land Bank and nine to none to reduce overtime funds for cops and firefighters… The votes Monday mean the Land Bank will lose $1.5 million in city funding. Officials have said that money would have been used to demolish 60 blighted homes.”
