The majority caucus put forth four nominees last week to replace four existing board members. Terms had expired for two of them, and the other two have been removed mid-term.

They're planning to vote on the appointments at Tuesday's session.

The $5.7 came from the Greater Syracuse Soundstage Development Corporation, sometimes called the Film Hub, a taxpayer-funded public arm of county government.

As it stands, residents have very few opportunities to offer their input at the legislature or any level of county government.
