Pyramid warps politics with mall empire reach

The Pyramid Cos finances campaigns since 1985, spending about 170000 in Onondaga County on Syracuse Mayor Thomas G. Young and County Executive Nicholas Porro. It expands to Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and beyond, building malls including a planned $200 million Syracuse site. Critics say the developer shapes elections through funding and perks, while supporters cite job creation and tax benefits.
