WRVO to air first interview with Syracuse mayor, Onondaga County executive since development dispute

Syracuse University

WRVO Public Media will air the first joint interview with Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner and Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney this weekend during "The Campbell Conversations." This is the first joint interview between Mahoney and Miner since a public dispute (and lawsuit) over county tax breaks given to a developer the city of Syracuse alleges it had previous arrangements with. All the while, a report is underway to investigate the feasibility of consolidating Onondaga County governments, including the city of Syracuse, something the governor has called "a smart idea."

You can hear a long excerpt of the interview Friday during "Morning Edition." Tune in at 5:22 a.m., 7:22 a.m. or 9:22 a.m. The audio will also be available online.

Hear the full interview between host Grant Reeher, Miner and Mahoney Saturday at 6 a.m. and Sunday at 6 p.m. Full audio and a transcript of the interview will also be made available online.

The last time both Miner and Mahoney appeared on "The Campbell Conversations" was in 2014, in a two-part interview.
