  • FISCAL PROFILE OFFICE OF THE NEW YORK STATE COMPTROLLER

    Syracuse, NY
    Other

    This 2013 fiscal profile of Syracuse by the New York State Comptroller's Office documents significant fiscal challenges facing the city, including nearly 50% tax-exempt property (compared to 32% statewide), 8% tax-delinquent properties, and 25.6% of families living in poverty—more than double the state average. As the fifth-largest city in New York with a population of 145,170, Syracuse has a debt of $292 million representing 52.9% of its constitutional debt limit (far exceeding the median city's 23%), and faces chronic budget gaps driven by declining population, deteriorating industrial sector, and growing fixed costs for both the city and its dependent school district. The city has established a Land Bank with Onondaga County to address abandoned properties and has exhausted 68.6% of its constitutional tax limit.

  • How to request a public record in Cleveland

    Cleveland, OH
    Other

    This explainer by Signal Cleveland Staff (April 12, 2026) describes how residents can request public records from Cleveland government agencies. Public records—including emails, contracts, police body camera video, and spending records—are legally accessible in Ohio and enable residents to monitor tax spending and hold officials accountable. Records are available through three channels: online databases (City Hall legislation, court records, county property data), in-person at City Hall (601 Lakeside Ave.), or by filing a request through the Cleveland Public Records Center, which requires creating an account and specifying a time frame and department. The Cleveland Metropolitan School District maintains a separate public records request system. Effective requests should be specific and time-bound rather than broad.
