North Syracuse neighbors not happy with new trash rollout
VILLAGE OF NORTH SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Some viewers have reached out to the Your Stories Team, wondering why the Village of North Syracuse didn't give its residents more notice about changes to its trash pickup.
Neighbors who contacted us and those posting online said they were surprised when their trash and recycling bins were picked up this week and driven away by Syracuse Trash Haulers.
Several people claimed they had no clue what was happening until an 'Urgent Notice' from the village was put on their door telling them of the trash change.
'Talk about poor planning,' one resident wrote on the Village of North Syracuse Facebook page.
According to North Syracuse Mayor Gary Butterfield, the village's contract with Syracuse Haulers expires at the end of the month. Starting June 1, Butler Disposal will become the village's new trash and recycling hauler. He said the village is required to accept the lowest bid, which was Butler.
Butterfield said the village worked with Onondaga County to help with the bidding process. He said they had a short window to alert the people of North Syracuse of the contract change.
He added they posted the information on their website and Facebook page, but admits the communication wasn't perfect. He said they could have done better with the transition and getting the word out.
The village said Butler will drop off new trash and recycling carts starting June 5.
'So, where is the trash supposed to be stored in the meantime?' Another resident posted on Facebook.
The mayor said that while the carts will not be delivered until June 5, Butler will start picking up trash on the week of June 2nd.
'June 2nd, June 3rd, and June 4th, will have manual trash pickup that will pick up your bags at the road….trash on one side, recyclables on the other side. If you can save your recyclables/trash until the following week – perfect – you will have a tote available for the following week. Again, we apologize for any of these difficulties,' The Village of North Syracuse wrote on its Facebook page.

Israel says it has recovered the bodies of 2 Israeli-American hostages from the Gaza Strip
TEL AVIV, Israel — Israel has recovered the bodies of two Israeli-American hostages taken in Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack that ignited the war in the Gaza Strip. Israeli strikes overnight and into Thursday meanwhile killed at least 13 people, including three local journalists who were in the courtyard of a hospital, according to health officials in the territory. The military said it targeted a militant in that strike. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the remains of Judih Weinstein and Gad Haggai were recovered and returned to Israel in a special operation by the army and the Shin Bet internal security agency. 'Together with all the citizens of Israel, my wife and I extend our heartfelt condolences to the dear families. Our hearts ache for the most terrible loss. May their memory be blessed,' he said in a statement. Kibbutz Nir Oz announced the deaths of Weinstein, 70, and Haggai, 72, both of whom had Israeli and U.S. citizenship, in December 2023. Weinstein was also a Canadian citizen. The military said they were killed in the Oct. 7 attack and taken into Gaza by the Mujahideen Brigades, the small armed group that it said had also abducted and killed Shiri Bibas and her two small children. The army said it recovered the remains of Weinstein and Haggai overnight into Thursday from the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis. The couple were taking an early morning walk near their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz on the morning of Oct. 7 when Hamas militants stormed across the border and rampaged through several army bases and farming communities. In the early hours of the morning, Weinstein was able to call emergency services and let them know that both she and her husband had been shot, and send a message to her family. Weinstein was born in New York and taught English to children with special needs at Kibbutz Nir Oz, a small community near the Gaza border. The kibbutz said she also taught meditation techniques to children and teenagers who suffered from anxiety as a result of rocket fire from Gaza. Haggai was a retired chef and jazz musician. 'My beautiful parents have been freed. We have certainty,' their daughter, Iris Haggai Liniado, wrote in a Facebook post. She thanked the Israeli military, the FBI and the Israeli and U.S. governments and called for the release of all the remaining hostages. The couple were survived by two sons, two daughters and seven grandchildren, the kibbutz said. At least 10 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes in Khan Yunis overnight, according to Nasser Hospital, which received the bodies. It was not immediately clear if the strikes were related to the recovery mission. In Gaza City, three local reporters were killed and six people were wounded in a strike on the courtyard of the al-Ahli Hospital, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. It did not immediately identify the journalists or say which outlets they worked for. The Israeli military said it struck an Islamic Jihad militant operating in the courtyard. The army says it only targets militants and blames civilian deaths on Hamas because it is embedded in populated areas. Over 180 journalists and media workers have been killed since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, the vast majority of them in Gaza, according to the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists. Israel has said many of those killed in its strikes were militants posing as reporters. Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in the Oct. 7 attack and abducted 251 hostages. They are still holding 56 hostages, around a third of them believed to be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefire agreements or other deals. Israeli forces have rescued eight living hostages from Gaza and recovered dozens of bodies. Israel's military campaign has killed more than 54,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not say how many of the dead were civilians or combatants. The offensive has destroyed large parts of Gaza and displaced around 90% of its population of roughly 2 million Palestinians. The United States, Egypt and Qatar have been trying to broker another ceasefire and hostage release after Israel ended an earlier truce in March and imposed a blockade that has raised fears of famine, despite being eased in recent weeks. But the talks appear to be deadlocked. Hamas says it will only release the remaining hostages in return for more Palestinian prisoners, a lasting ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. It has offered to hand over power to a politically independent Palestinian committee. Netanyahu has rejected those terms, saying Israel will only agree to temporary ceasefires to facilitate the return of hostages. He has vowed to continue the war until all the hostages are returned and Hamas is defeated or disarmed and sent into exile. He has said Israel will maintain control over Gaza indefinitely and will facilitate what he refers to as the voluntary emigration of much of its population to other countries. The Palestinians and much of the international community have rejected such plans, viewing them as forcible expulsion that could violate international law.

Billionaire GOP megadonor Ken Griffin is confused: Why is the US trying to bring back 'jobs that'll never pay much'?
Ken Griffin had no good answer. The billionaire founder of the $66 billion hedge fund Citadel and its sister company, market maker Citadel Securities, Griffin is a megadonor to the Republican Party and was excited for the American economy after President Donald Trump's election. Less than half a year since Trump's inauguration, Griffin said he was asked during a recent visit to China, "Why are you trying to be like China?" He said there isn't a logical reason the US would want to bring manufacturing "jobs that'll never pay much" to the country, but that seems to be the goal of the tariff policies pursued by Trump's administration. "It's one thing to make Nikes, it's another thing to make F-35 fighters," he said Thursday morning at the Forbes Iconoclast conference in Manhattan. Griffin has been critical of the administration's tariff policies in recent months, calling them a mistake that will hurt the economy and consumers. He said Thursday that they were an "anti-growth agenda," and the expected growth of the US economy has been cut in half since Trump took office. He continued his criticism of Trump, whom he voted for, focusing on the current tax bill, which was passed by the House of Representatives and is now in the Senate. Griffin said it will add "several trillions" of dollars to the deficit and lacks "tough decisions." "The United States' fiscal house is not in order," Griffin said, questioning the decision to cut taxes on small and medium-sized businesses when the deficit was rising. He said credit markets have noted the uncertainty plaguing the US thanks to the administration's policies, noting that "the risk of a US default is priced the same as Italy or Greece." "There's just no words for it," he said. If there was any optimism in his talk, it was about the resilience of American CEOs. He said hiring and capital expenditures will slow as long as there is uncertainty from Washington. Still, he was impressed with how individuals like Doug McMillon, the CEO of Walmart, explained the impact tariffs would have on the consumer. "We should not criticize CEOs for being honest," he said, adding, "shame on the administration" for scolding McMillon and other CEOs for talking about the tariffs' impact. There's still time for Trump and his team to return to pro-growth economic policies, he said, and there's no time to wait. "The United States desperately needs growth" to pay for entitlements like Social Security, he said.

The Retirement Funds Boomers Rely on Most — and Why Rising Generations Will Need a New Strategy
Whether retirement is like a sunrise on a distant horizon or you can already feel its golden rays warming your golden years, one thing is clear: Your money needs to be ready. While there are universal pillars of smart saving, such as keeping savings in a high-yield savings account, investing consistently and maintaining an emergency fund, each generation approaches retirement saving a little differently. For You: Check Out: When GOBankingRates teamed up with New York Life to understand how people are feeling about their finances today, one insight stood out. In a survey of more than 1,000 Americans ages 18 and older, only 20.81% of respondents age 65 and older said they rely on a 401(k) for income. In contrast, 43.93% said they receive income from an employer pension. If you're thinking that Gen Z or Millennials might not have the same access to pensions, you're right. The way people save for retirement is changing — and future retirees will need a more self-directed strategy. In the survey, respondents of all age groups were asked about their sources of household income. Unsurprisingly, older respondents — those in the 65-and-older group — reported high reliance on Social Security (90.17%) and pensions (43.93%). More surprising? A relatively small portion of Baby Boomers — just 20.81% — reported income from a 401(k). That figure is nearly on par with the catch-all category of 'other savings.' But that may not be shocking to those familiar with how retirement planning has evolved. As retirement writer Donna Fuscaldo noted in a piece for Kiplinger, 'For many of the baby boomers' working years, they had access to pensions and a strong job market. They didn't have to worry about where their income in retirement would come from.' Explore More: Fuscaldo pointed out that by the time Gen X entered the workforce in the '80s and '90s, many companies were shifting away from pensions and toward 401(k) plans. Essentially, the onus for saving for retirement began falling to the employee instead of the employer. Boomers also came into, and out of, the workforce during a time when Social Security largely seemed secure, or at least, not something they had to worry about long-term, giving them one more reason to feel financially secure in retirement. It's only natural that younger generations — Millennials, Zoomers, and even Gen X — rely mostly on income from their current jobs. While they're not withdrawing from their retirement accounts just yet, it's worth noting that 12.78% of respondents aged 55-64 reported 401(k) income, just eight percentage points below the 65-and-older group. As pensions become less prevalent, especially in the private sector, younger generations are expected to lean more on the 401(k) in the future. The survey found that 16.77% of respondents ages 45-54 and 15.43% of those 35-44 reported a 401(k) as an income source. That may sound surprisingly high, especially for those under 45, but it's likely reflective of multigenerational households, where income from a parent's or older relative's 401(k) factors into the household total. Either way, the data underscores the growing importance of self-funded retirement strategies for future generations. Younger generations are also more likely to piece together income from multiple streams. Notably, 36.21% of respondents ages 18-24 said they earn money from side hustles. This age group also reported 0% participation in annuities — a traditional retirement product — compared to 11.56% of Boomers and 6.11% of respondents aged 55-64. This suggests younger Americans could stand to boost their awareness of long-term savings tools. Boomers largely benefitted from a retirement system that included pensions, stable Social Security, and less personal responsibility to actively manage long-term investments. But the same cannot be said for today's rising generations. As Fuscaldo writes, 'In the early days of 401(k)s, people weren't saving, and there wasn't a ton of information available about saving, investing and planning for retirement.' That's no longer the case. Today's workers have access to an abundance of financial education about 401(k)s and virtually every other type of financial product, but they also face more responsibility. And many are skeptical about the long-term viability of Social Security. According to the Nationwide Retirement Institute, 45% of Gen Z and 39% of Millennials believe they'll never see the Social Security benefits they've earned. Perhaps that's why Gen Xers now on the cusp of retirement, as well as Millennials and Zoomers, are embracing new and diverse ways of saving for retirement, from 401(k)s to side hustle savings to life insurance with cash value components. The retirement playbook has changed. And while Boomers may have been able to count on a few key institutions, rising generations will have to get more creative, more informed, and more proactive about their financial and New York Life Insurance surveyed 1,009 Americans aged 18 and older from across the country between March 19 and March 125, 2025, asking twenty-one different questions: (1) What is your current employment status?; (2) Which of the following category or categories best describes your race or ethnicity?
