County forgives 22-year tax bill to save home
Onondaga County Ways and Means Committee forgave a $240.56 back tax and interest for Salina resident Mrs. Lillian Poppelsdorf, saving her from a townwide tax sale. Her son-in-law said she and her late husband consistently paid taxes, except for 1959, and she had no receipts for that year. The committee, by unanimous vote, urged focus on fair notice and noted only local legislators can forgive back taxes.

Hearing on phone bands could raise Onondaga rates
A public hearing February 4 at the Onondaga County War Memorial will examine New York Telephone Co proposed meter bands that would raise local rates. The two-session hearing before Administrative Law Judge Walter Moynihan will run until all speakers are heard. The plan would set a statewide distance standard with Band B and Band C zones, raising charges for Syracuse area calls and extending to several towns with higher per minute rates. The PSC faces strong opposition from businesses fearing higher phone costs.

County panel urges 90 day spending freezes
The Ways and Means Committee urged the full Legislature to implement 90 day freezes on spending across budget accounts as Onondaga County faces a 5.2 million deficit in 1982. Proposed cuts include travel bans, 90 day holds on new automotive supplies, overtime freezes with comp time, no new seasonal hires, and no new equipment purchases except for the April opening of the Van Duyn nursing home. The deficit stems from anticipated shortfalls in sales tax and state or federal aid, totaling 3.0 million and 1.5 million respectively, plus 0.7 million for handicapped education costs.
