County terminates lease for Onondaga candy stand operator
The county ends Carl Krell’s lease at the Onondaga County Courthouse effective Dec 31 though two years remain. A protest petition grows as County Executive Mulroy and lawmakers dispute the move to grant the stand to Macke Inc., the county food vendor. Krell, disabled by emphysema, says he has rarely been absent and previously ran the stand with two assistants. The county cites efficiency and vendor policy, while Krell has started a petition with about 100 signatures.
