Municipal Web sites show room for improvement
A Syracuse study rates local Web sites and finds issues such as outdated information and nonworking buttons. It notes missing links to chambers, schools, and libraries, limited email capacity, and budget data gaps. The Aug 5 1999 Liverpool village minutes and Salina town site details illustrate outdated pages and missing supervisor names. Plans to revamp a site include an $8,000 budget and ongoing efforts led by Supervisor Mary Ann Schadt who says the site will be improved.

The Onondagas seek remedy for land acquired in treaties from 1790 to 1822 affecting 200,000 residents in Onondaga and neighboring towns.
