The dispute over annexing 800 acres from DeWitt highlights a turf war between the city and suburbs. The argument favors consolidation of municipal services to spur growth, yet warns implementation should be orderly to avoid tax hikes and legal challenges.
The piece weighs welfare's value against costs citing Aid to Families with Dependent Children as aid feeding millions in 1994 while noting concerns about rising federal spending and limited job skills. It traces bipartisan stances, political rhetoric, and calls for protecting welfare’s core mission amid a public mood wary of dependency. It names Newt Gingrich and Senator Moynihan as figures in the discussion.
A columnist argues the Clinton era trade deal with Japan will not shrink the deficit or create thousands of jobs. He claims Japan’s policies deter Japanese buyers of U.S. cars, urges Americans to boycott foreign cars, and says buying American-made vehicles would eliminate the deficit and boost jobs. He notes taxpayers bearing the burden while some critics buy foreign cars.
J.E. Rourke Sr. argues the 1991 Yugoslav conflict was preventable. He contends Croatia declared independence triggering Serbian aggression, with Bosnia becoming a focal point for ethnic clashes. NATO and the UN finally acted, but decisive action earlier might have halted four years of carnage.
A proposal suggests placing large billboards on both approaches of the Parkway railroad bridge to alert truck drivers that the clearance is 10 feet 9 inches. The idea, though framed humorously, aims to wake drivers from fatigue during long hauls and prevent accidents.
A reader thanks the Herald-Journal for printing a letter about the Onondaga County Child Assistance Program CAP.

A reader asks how to handle welfare reform and CAP offers help. CAP or Child Assistance Program began in 1988 in New York and expanded to Onondaga County last year.
