Camillus Fires Suspend Inactive Members Amid Lawsuit
Camillus Fire Department suspends inactive firefighters amid a $175,000 lawsuit accusing the department of burning the association clubhouse on West Genesee Turnpike. The action targets 22 association members for unbecoming conduct as eleven were reportedly denied membership. Association members challenge the move while village officials note the suit and discipline are internal fire department matters.

Vacant Kennedy Square and Cherry Hill face sale and repairs
In 1996 a federal judge ruled Kennedy Square failed mortgage payments to Empire State Development and Cherry Hill owed taxes. The 284 unit Kennedy Square and 164 unit Cherry Hill suffer high vacancy rates, limited rent recovery, and ongoing repair needs.
