SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Syracuse City School District got renewed support yesterday for its $600 million building renovation plan. Governor Pataki vetoed the plan in the final hours of the State Assembly session. WRVO's Matt Hackworth visited one elementary school to see first hand the problems district officials say warrant so much state assistance.
