"Compounding matters is the fact previous leaders have taken Syracuse to its maximum bond debt to build a new city hall and fire station, Mayor Jamie Nagle said. The city, in 2006 and 2008, issued a combined $15 million in bond debt for new buildings, said Amber Fowles, city finance manager. Those building bonds do not include the 10-year, $2 million bond issued in 2005 to develop the Jensen Nature Park."
