Auer urges funding bill approval for Syracuse aid
State Senator Martin Auer pressed Mayor Lee Alexander to urge the governor to back a bill providing Syracuse 6.7 million in emergency assistance, with Rochester receiving the same, as the 1980 legislative session nears adjournment. Without the governor's message of necessity, the measure lacks three day aging, risking passage. If approved, the funds may be Syracuse's only extra state aid this year, crucial for maintaining services. The effort follows long disputes over state revenue sharing and aims to support pre kindergarten funding for Syracuse and East Syracuse Minoa districts from a total 1 million preK pool.
