Onondaga County Legislature

The court-brokered agreement now goes to the county executive who is required to hold a public hearing and sign it into law by September 9th

Lawmakers are scheduled to vote Tuesday on a court-brokered agreement.

Last week's court-ordered resolution didn't generate any discussion at Tuesday's Ways and Means Committee meeting. It now goes to the full legislature for a vote Sept. 1.

Onondaga County lawmakers are urging Gov. Hochul to sign the Good Food NY bill.

Legislators voted 10 to 7 Tuesday to reserve the option of taking legal action against the board of elections to get a term limits bill on the ballot. Meanwhile, GOP lawmakers proposed another measure that does not include a ballot referendum.

His proposal would give voters two separate questions on the 2027 ballot.

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.

This time, the county comptroller's office is part of the measure calling for three, four-year terms for the office of county executive.

Meanwhile, Gov. Kathy Hochul has yet to sign a one-year moratorium approved by state lawmakers.
