Bonadio & Co., LLP prepared an analysis of Syracuse, New York's Mayor's Recommended Budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, submitted to the City Common Council on April 30, 2025. The analysis examines revenue, expenditure, and fund balance trends to identify concerns such as unusual growth, reliance on one-time revenue sources, and fund balance depletion. Syracuse, a city of approximately 146,000 residents, faces ongoing financial challenges typical of older urban centers, including modest revenue growth heavily dependent on sales tax, property taxes, and state aid that has not consistently kept pace with rising expenditures in employee benefits, public safety, and infrastructure maintenance.

Based on fiscal year 2019 audited financial data, Oakland faced severe fiscal strain entering the coronavirus pandemic with a total debt burden of $2.3 billion, equivalent to $17,000 per taxpayer, earning the city a "D" financial grade from Truth in Accounting. The city had only $1.7 billion in assets available to cover $4 billion in bills, creating the $2.3 billion shortfall. Oakland's financial problems stem primarily from unfunded retirement obligations: $1.9 billion in unfunded pension benefits and $927.8 million in unfunded retiree health care benefits out of $6.5 billion in total promised retirement benefits. The report projects Oakland's overall debt will likely increase due to pandemic-related revenue losses and insufficient reserves to weather economic disruptions.
