Bernardi and Young clash over Fair budget deficit in debate
Republican mayoral candidate Roy Bernardi accused Democrat Thomas Young of running the State Fair at a two million dollar deficit. Young, a former Fair director, argued subsidies this year were 750 thousand and that the Fair is not meant to break even. The debate at the Syracuse Marriott drew about 280 chamber members as Bernardi proposed tax relief and a tech park while Young defended ongoing subsidies and city aid.

County budget passes means tax relief for city many towns
Onondaga County lawmakers approved a 1986 budget after five hours of debate, voting 22 to 2 to pass a bipartisan plan. The budget cuts 7.4 million from the proposed 469.1 million, lowering the tax rate from 15.02 to 14.89 per thousand, with sewer use fees rising and a pending state comptroller ruling on a sewer hookup charge. Minority Leader Holihan called it reasonable while Tim Rice criticized high personnel costs and across the board cuts, noting the budget sets the rate but may not control future spending.
