Legislators urge higher pay for Onondaga library chief
The Onondaga County library director position faces a salary squeeze as lawmakers consider raising the pay scale from 58 000 to 72 000 to 66 880 to 82 133. Officials warn of recruiting challenges amid a state mandate requiring a master’s in library science and eight years of admin experience. Endowment funds may offset moving costs, while support for a larger raise faces resistance over pay-scale equity.

Diocese Witness Testimony in Costello Case Damages Family
In a July 10 deposition Susan Sweet, a diocese youth minister, says Costello admitted knowing Casey had a problem with children and that officers had died to help Casey for 15 years with no success. Christine Zilnick and the boys’ mother are expected to testify about conversations with Costello. Casey faces trial for improper conduct with two brothers aged 10 and 12 after a 1987 outing. The family rejected a settlement offering payments to the boys and their mother, saying the church knew of the priest’s problem and did not report him. The suit affects a strained family life, with the boy’s mother recounting a loss of trust, a son’s death attempts, and financial ruin including bankruptcy and a heart attack. The mother now lives in Syracuse as they pursue answers and accountability.
