Mall tax deal rhetoric swells as lobbying shifts calls
Joe Kraft says he changed minds through a flood of calls to County Legislator Bernard Kreft about the Pyramid mall expansion. The plan would divert three decades of property taxes to fund a $900 million project in Syracuse, with $250 million for parking and roads. Legislators oppose tax relief, urging Pyramid to pay existing taxes. A Jan. 22 vote looms as supporters say the deal is vital while opponents warn against overreach.
