No favors in politics: Alexander’s critique of city dealings
Mayor Lee Alexander said he ended the old politics of favors and party-driven contributions when taking office in 1970. The Herald-Journal notes CCO Equipment’s roughly $3,000 in Democratic contributions in the mid 1970s and about $1 million in city contracts from 1971 to 1976. City officials defended a 1975 contract with CCO despite higher bid offers, while bidding irregularities and liquidation damages provisions drew contention. Former CCO officers cited payments needed to do business with city, Onondaga and Oswego counties.
