Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon

Lawmakers are expected to discuss the path forward in what's become a legal debate over the county executive's approval and veto of the measure.

The county executive unintentionally signed both an approval and a veto of the measure. He vetoed a previous version last month. The legislature's Democratic majority is sending the approved version to be put on the ballot.

He told the media after a public hearing that he was going to veto the measure, but a paperwork mix-up threw that into question.

The county is spending $500,000 on the study, which will analyze land, water, and energy use, as well as noise and environmental issues.

Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon and leadership of the Rosamond Gifford Zoo signed a Memorandum of Understanding that solves part of a public spat over money and control.

About 80 people filled the courtroom at DeWitt town hall for a recent town hall-style meeting with the county executive.

McMahon's address marked the first public event to be held in the Lincoln Theater inside the new STEAM school downtown in 50 years.

McMahon is among twelve New York County leaders appointed to the National Association of Counties leadership.

County executive McMahon originally thought the statement release would happen in early June. He calls the process "pretty substantial" and reassured residents, "Everybody wants to get it right."

The Onondaga County executive says the public comment period is already extended when it begins in early June.
