Governments gamble on costly early retirement plan
Taxpayers face about 121 million in five years to push municipal workers into early retirement under a 1984 law. Savings hinge on not filling vacancies. Syracuse City School District expects 939,936 annually from 130 retirements, offset by new contract costs. Regan warns without strict vacancy controls, net costs to taxpayers may rise.

Driver gets year in jail in hit-run death of girl
Dwight Paylor, 28, of Kirkville Road, was sentenced Thursday to one year in jail for leaving the scene of an accident that killed four year old Dina-Lynn Decker on James Street in July. Judge William J. Burke lamented the sentence but noted the felony carries up to four years. The case drew an angry scene in court when Decker’s mother cried out, and Taylor himself shouted obscenities before the sentence was imposed.
