An ongoing inquiry questions whether sprinklers could have saved ten lives from a fourth floor blaze at the 14 story Westchase Hilton, built in 1980, in a city where 1981 fire code required sprinklers.

Commissioner Richard A Romeo of Onondaga County Board of Elections says mail in voting could save between 58000 and 115000 per primary, with countywide primaries costing 120000 now and mail ballots reducing it to 5000.

Susan K Decker of Clay argues Koch’s narrow views suit New York City only and would neglect the rest of the state. She says he should remain in the city while others provide for his needs.
