The Syracuse Common Council has done the right thing. They voted down the Carousel expansion deal with a 6-3 vote. Yesterday's reports said it appeared to be 3-2 in favor, with four undecideds.

I dropped off 10 copies of this letter at lunch today, and the receptionist was on the phone, trying to get e-mail inbox limits raised because councilors' boxes were full. Everybody was trying to get heard today.

And enough of the right people did. Thank you, councilors.
