Mayor Stephanie Miner gave the State of the City Address at the Southwest Community Center last night.
She may have gotten a shout-out from First Lady Michelle Obama at the U.S.
Conference of Mayors; she may have been selected to the prestigious Rodel Fellowhip Program (Aspen Institute), but last night Mayor Stephanie Miner had to focus on reality here in Syracuse, the city she leads, the city where she resides.
During her 2016 State of the City Address at the Southwest Community Center, she painted with broad strokes when citing the accomplishments of her administration, including new inspiring economic development projects. At the same time, she didn’t turn a blind eye to some of those unsavory details that color our current condition.
Mayor Miner even evoked the empathetic spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as she reminded the bipartisan audience that true civic engagement occurs when all people are integrated into the success of a metropolis and inequality doesn’t lead to abandonment.
It’s never an easy job, but someone has to do it.

Chief Frank Fowler talks imaging for the Syracuse Police Department.
A lot has changed since 1848 when the villages of Salina and Syracuse merged to form the Syracuse Police Department (SPD). Here in the 21st Century police work and crime analysis are riding a wave of high tech.
Chief Frank Fowler visited the F.O.C.U.S. Forum last week to discuss the successes (sophisticated cameras with hi def images and loitering-trip capabilities) and limitations (cost of monitoring and storage capacity) of police cameras in the city. Chief Fowler illustrated how the the SPD relies on sophisticated imagery, gigabytes of data, and social media to supplement their investigations.
We wonder how soon the department will employ body cams.
