Geddes imposes six month moratorium on medical waste sites
Geddes town board voted to halt construction of hazardous and regulated medical waste facilities for six months. The move follows National Medical Waste Inc of Syracuse proposing a drop off point on Armstrong Road near F&C Market, with plans to burn waste in Rochester or elsewhere. The company withdrew the proposal after a property sale fell through. Local officials seek to review the eight year old ordinance amid advances in regulation and technology while assessing public risk and emergency response capacity.

Walsh backs GOP Medicare overhaul plan in House debate
U S Representative James Walsh of Onondaga predicts quick passage of a Republican Medicare overhaul. A 14 member advisory panel he formed broadly supports the plan, which aims to save about 270 billion dollars over seven years while raising concerns on some points. The panel favors more elderly health care options, premiums shared by higher income retirees, and a study commission for post 2010 viability, while insisting traditional hospitalization remain available and fraud controls strengthened.
