Lawmakers clash over Syracuse tax delinquent payment bill
In Albany, Sen. Tarky Lombardi Jr and Assemblyman Melvin Zimmer spar over bills granting Syracuse authority to withhold delinquent tax payments to Onondaga County. Both seek to fix a 1937 inequity where the city pays full taxes regardless of collection, currently about 1 million dollars yearly with 60 percent eventually collected. The bills differ on veto power and required monthly city reports, and likely will be reconciled in a compromise before the year end recess.
