Mexico seeks clemency for death-row inmate in Virginia
Mexico filed a clemency petition on behalf of Mario Benjamin Murphy, scheduled for execution in Virginia next week for a 1991 contract killing. The government offered to imprison him in Mexico if Virginia Gov. George Allen commutes the sentence. Murphy’s lawyers also seek clemency and appealed to the U S Supreme Court. In a separate ruling, a South Carolina judge found the Driver's Privacy Protection Act unconstitutional, blocking its enforcement starting this weekend.

Onondaga County aims to trim the Department of Social Services by 3.4 percent as welfare enrollments decline amid statewide cuts and a improving economy. The county lags in welfare reductions compared with most New York counties, with officials citing job gains and a new workfare rule for families with children. County predicts adding about 1,500 welfare recipients to work programs next year while transitioning roughly 2,500 people to private sector jobs.

Pirro seeks new jobs to boost economy and curb sewage issues
Pirro proposes adding two economic development staffers to attract business, plus two workers for Drainage and Sanitation to address an Onondaga Lake pollution court order. Hillbrook Detention Facility would gain two more youths, with more probation and social services staff to counsel youths. He also wants to fund salaries for 10 deputies at the Justice Center. The 1998 county budget would drop 1.1 percent to 756.7 million, with Medicaid costs stabilizing and welfare reforms lowering caseloads, while proposals include park renovations and Civic Center upgrades. Sanford demands more detail on the new roles amid calls for faster recession recovery and regional competition.
