Sustainable Syracuse: Building a greener Syracuse
On Earth Day, Mayor Ben Walsh announced the plan, describing it as a community effort to build a more inclusive and environmentally resilient Syracuse, especially given the recent extreme weather.
'The whole purpose of this planning is to look into the future far beyond where any of us is at this moment. We are planning for future generations, so we're going to accomplish a lot before I am done,' said Syracuse City Mayor Ben Walsh.

Syracuse's Climate Action Plan (CAP) is a blueprint for reducing its carbon footprint and adapting to environmental challenges over time.
The other plan, the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory (GHGI), will track and list the sources of emissions across city operations and the community as a whole. That includes fuel consumption, energy use, waste, and even the reasons behind our travel.
The last time the city created and completed this list was in 2010. With the new data, the city will be able to see how far it has come and identify where to focus next.
The city has already seen improvements since implementing earlier green investments, such as switching more than 17,000 streetlights to LEDs back in 2020, which saved about $3 million.

Expired temp tags about to be a thing of the past in Missouri
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Missouri drivers will see a multitude of changes within the next two years, including the discontinuance of temporary tags. This comes after the passage of Senate Bill 28, which will take effect on Aug. 28, but the change in paying vehicle sales tax will be implemented once the second phase of the Department of Revenue's new FUSION (Fifty Unique Systems In One Nexus) system is operational. Parkville man charged in connection with 2-month-old son's death Once the system is in place, vehicle buyers in Missouri will be required to pay sales tax at the point of the sale when they purchase through a dealership. If the car is purchased privately, buyers will continue to take their bill of sale to any Missouri license office to pay sales tax. Once the purchase is complete in both scenarios, buyers will get a paper copy of their new license plate and a permanent metal plate with the same number configuration will be mailed to the buyer. Buyers will no longer receiver have the option of getting a temporary tag. 'This change to the way we collect sales tax will eliminate temporary license tags which rob the state of millions of dollars each year because of drivers who never pay their sales tax,' said Missouri Director of Revenue Trish Vincent. 'Though the law goes into effect on August 28, the sales tax changes cannot take effect until our new FUSION system is up and running.' The purpose of FUSION is to combine older mainframe systems and software applications that can no longer communicate with each other into one core system that will significantly increase speed and efficiency in performing motor vehicle and driver licensing functions. Retired Olathe police detective killed in weekend motorcycle crash The first phase was focused on driver licensing and implemented on Nov. 12, 2024. Until FUSION is fully operational, the current sales tax collection process will remain in effect for both dealerships and private vehicle purchases. 'This new law affects both the seller and the buyer,' Vincent said. 'We are going to work with dealers to get everyone trained on the new system and prepared to collect sales tax. Buyers will need to be ready to pay the full sales tax amount at the time of purchase.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
