Nor the mayor second guessing those calls today. I dont know this wasnt the more prudent course of action in any event because at the end of the day, it may actually have brought us back to full operating capacity sooner.

The Vincent is one of 11 Central New York housing complexes owned by Green National, the real estate firm of prominent former football player Tim Green and his son, Troy Green.
The company has found itself in the crosshairs of Syracuse City Hall, police and county housing officials recently for the worsening conditions at the Skyline Apartment complex, where an elderly woman was found murdered in her apartment.

The U.S. Postal Service says its Syracuse operations have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, with at least 17 postal workers absent this week after testing positive for Covid-19.
The absences have contributed to delays delivering letters and packages throughout Central New York, said Maureen Marion, a Postal Service spokesperson.
“The Syracuse operation is deeply hit with Covid illnesses and related absences, impacting sorting, retail and delivery functions,” Marion told syracuse.com in response to an inquiry about mail delays.
The 17 postal workers who tested positive for Covid-19 had delivered mail or worked as clerks at Syracuse area post offices, Marion said. All of the offices have zip codes beginning with 132 and include communities beyond the geographic boundaries of the city.
