This morning's Ithaca Journal reports on the quick thinking of an off-duty sheriff's deputy that led to the arrest of a Dryden teen for the theft of $53 from the Santa Claus photo booth at Pyramid Mall.
The County Legislature will be voting tonight on whether to build a new $20 million jail after last month's failure to pass a budget.
The Journal's editorial today encourages the legislature to end the debate and vote for the jail.
