Syracuse, N.Y. – Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon today said he might roll out a second phase of the county’s successful restaurant voucher program with even more than the $500,000 spent during the first go-round.
The initial voucher program sold out Tuesday in less than five hours, during which the county sold 9,000 vouchers that provide matching funds up to $100 to spend at any locally owned restaurant.

Among them are an 85 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and 100 percent zero emissions electricity by 2040. Communications Coordinator with NY Renews Arielle Swernoff says the Climate and Community Investment Act, or CCIA would raise $10 to $15 billion a year from corporate polluters.
It would invest the money into building out our renewable infrastructure and to creating good, green jobs into programs that are locally led and run by communities on the front lines of the crisis.
