Central New York Votes Split Amid Federal Aviation Bill
Democrats Daniel Patrick Mogren and Charles Schumer lead Central New York voters in a divided Senate tally while proponents back a 40 billion FAA authorization through 2003. The measure passed in conference with 319 101 votes, aiming to boost safety grants and airport traffic though critics fear higher congestion at busy hubs. A separate land development measure to streamline appeals by private owners passes 226 182, though attendance figures are unavailable and the original firm supplying the company is no longer in business with a new one sought.

Roth urges earnings limit repeal in push for Labor market boost
Senate Finance Chair Roth argues the Social Security earnings cap hinders older workers in a tight labor market. He says repealing it would raise living standards, with Clinton likely to sign if approved. The rule taxes benefits on $1 of every $3 earned up to age 70, currently $17.06, affecting over 800,000 seniors and costing over $100 million annually.
