First, if you work for the state and draw a state pension retirement, are you exempt from paying state income tax?

Not quite. Contributions to state pensions are taxable at the time of the contribution, so they’re not taxed again as income when the worker starts drawing that pension.

Next, why can Syracuse’s thrift stores collect sales tax? Aren’t they supposed to be non-profits?

Here’s how it works. Qualified non-profits get a break on things they buy for themselves, that is, for their own use. Unfortunately, that does not extend to the consumer buying merchandise at these stores.

The surcharge was approved as part of the 2010 budget and went into effect in February 2010.

The money from the surcharge is used to offset the cost of highway department operations and reduce the amount of local property tax needed to fund Department of Transportation operations.

But can you legally drive according to the normal speed limit when no one is working on the site?

According to Gene Cilento of the Department of Transportation, drivers should follow the construction speed limit.

During inactive periods, there may be conditions you need to slow down for, such as uneven road surfaces, raised joints, narrow lanes, or temporary lane markings. Work zone limits are established according to expected site conditions.

Now, viewer Mark Hugunin wants to know what the status of that road work is.

Gene Cilento with the Department of Transportation says the work has been suspended for the winter. The soil nail wall – a type of retaining wall – has been installed. Long nails are driven into the embankment and the weight of the soil above bears down on the nails, keeping everything in place. So what’s left? Additional lanes still have to be created. We’re told the work will resume once temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees. The department says work will likely be complete sometime late this summer.

We first told you about this story back in November. And now, the city is finally stepping in to help.

For residents along Armstrong Place, water has taken over. They believe the flooding started when a neighbor who lived on property higher up allowed illegal dumping on his property. It’s a private property issue, but the city says it’s a quality-of-life issue and the mayor’s office has stepped in to help.

Scott Herring, whose home is flooded, told NewsChannel 9, “It's a constant pain. In summer, I’ve got to deal with mosquitoes in the front yard; my kids can't play outside anymore. I hear the water 24/7/365. That's a big stress and headache.”

Herring has constantly been pumping water out of his basement and the water is swallowing his neighbor's shed, and has now reached the basement of a third house.

“We’re very frustrated... at this point we can’t say what we’re going to do for sure, but something has to be done,” said resident Fred Arcadi.

Residents don’t have the resources to figure out what’s causing the flooding and that’s why the city has stepped in.

Syracuse Director of Mayoral Initiatives Tim Carroll said, “We had the fire department pump this out and it returned within 24 hours. While it was dry we had our engineering department have their surveyors take some measurements to see if a drain could somehow be constructed here and tie it out to the street to the city's storm sewer system.”

That drain option will cost between nine and $15,000 -- a bill residents can't afford.

So who’s responsible? Herring and Arcadi say an adjacent neighbor on the other side of the water. The owner is in the middle of a code violation case for allowing illegal dumping of construction debris. When the dumping started on the higher property, so did the flooding.

“The situation is frankly one on private property. This is not a situation where the city can come barge through people's houses and install a public system on private property,” Carroll said.

So, residents are left to foot the bill or go to court. Another expense they can’t afford.

The city is looking into possible legal help for the homeowners. Carroll says he met with the water department and they’re looking into less expensive, more “green” options. But construction can’t happen until spring or summer.

The city is planning to meet with all the property owners in the area next week.

But you want to know about an email sent by the company’s CEO.

The email purports to be from Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

It claims that Facebook has teamed up with another tech powerhouse Apple and the company is randomly selecting users from a database to award free iPhones or iPads. The deal sounds too good to be true – and it is.

Anyone who receives this email is better off simply hitting the delete button. The link you are asked to follow directs you to enter your email address, a move that could leave you vulnerable to spam or even identity theft.

NewsChannel 9 viewer Jean Carter wanted to check the tax information for a property in Cicero. She says she tried to find the information on the county’s website, but the information wasn’t there and she wants to know why.

Well, every parcel of land has a unique number called a tax ID number. Jean wanted information on a property that had been given a new tax ID number. It, and several dozen others, lost a little bit of land to a water line project. Cicero Assessor Brad Brennan said the new ID number reflects the change in the size of the property.

The county’s database saw the new numbers and made new records for each, as if they were brand new parcels of land and not old parcels with new names.

There’s no other information for those parcels because the town hasn’t finished its assessment work for 2012 yet. Brennan says the data should be filled in by early next spring. He says people can call his office at 699-1410 if they find an incomplete record and want the details.

“If there is a manufacturer’s suggested [retail price], why are they hiding it under a higher price?” Ramsden wants to know.

Ramsden also noticed her new pants still had the original tag, uncovered, but they rang up $10 higher at the register.

A spokesperson for Macy’s told NewsChannel 9:

"As you may recall from extensive media coverage at the time, there were huge increases in worldwide commodity prices (primarily involving cotton) in late 2010 and early 2011. This caused an increase in the prices of goods made from those higher-cost commodities. In July 2011, we began receiving shipments of new higher-priced goods in some categories. In some isolated cases, these new goods incorrectly included old tags with old prices (keep in mind that tags are pre-printed and attached to goods before they are shipped from the manufacturer). So beginning in July, we at Macy’s needed to add new original price labels to those goods that were improperly marked. We did that by placing stickers with the correct prices over the outdated prices previously printed on the label."

The company says they may have missed adding a new tag to the jeans or it may have been removed somehow. Nonetheless, they agreed to refund the $10 difference.

The confusion made Nancy look twice at her receipts and she found three other problems. Clothes clearly marked with newer sales tags also rang up higher at the register. All together, she and her boyfriend had paid about $20 more than expected. All of the items were bought on the same day, from two different Macy's stores.

"As much as I bought, I didn't notice it at the time. I went home. I noticed it later on,” Ramsden said. "I said fine, you know, so they got me on that one. I should have paid attention."

But she wants to warn other shoppers to check their receipts before removing any tags.

"We currently are checking our files to determine how this could have happened. In the meantime, we also are reaching out to the customer to refund the difference in price," wrote Macy's spokesperson Jim Suzuki. "Pricing issues are very rare, and we also want to be sure our prices are correct, clearly marked and can be trusted by the customer."

In general, there are no refunds if older tags are clearly marked with a new sticker. But, Macy's agreed, Nancy will get money back for the jeans and those sales items that rang up incorrectly.

The equipment manager assigns a locker to freshmen players at the beginning of every year and the player keeps that locker through the duration of his career with the Orange.

The football team has a similar system, but it’s a little more complicated. The offense and the defense are separated and lockers are assigned numerically from there. The football players don’t have pictures, they use jersey numbers and name plates.

What’s happening he asks?

There’s no easy explanation on this one. City water commissioner Debi Sommers says her department hasn’t done any work in the area and a National Grid project nearby shouldn’t have had any affect on the water supply. She says chlorine levels in the city are set by the health department and the levels would never be high enough to make someone sick. However, Sommers says there may be times when the smell is stronger because of weather conditions. Chlorine doesn’t dissipate as quickly when it is extremely mild and we did have a cold snap right around the time when Matt noticed a change in his water – so the weather could be the culprit.

Should an emergency arise, he says the reception is so bad it’s unlikely anyone would understand what’s being reported. Can it be fixed, he asks?

Not easily, according to Newhouse professor Randy Wenner. Wenner consulted with the college’s engineering staff and he says the reception on the far ends of the AM radio band is poor for two reasons.

First, he says, the FCC has authorized a very small amount of signal strength to transmitters and antennae for highway advisory radio stations. So they’re weak signals to begin with. They start to fade out within a mile or two of the transmitter site. The FCC keeps signal strength low, partly to address concerns from commercial radio stations who view traveler information radio as competition.

Next, some of the transmitters may run on solar power. As you all know, Central New York doesn’t see nearly as much sun as we’d like during the winter months. So cloud cover can further reduce the strength of broadcast signals from already low-powered transmitters.

Last year, the FCC began to consider an update for the system, but engineers say this could cause more interference with and further protest from radio stations.

Carol Hartnett called 911 the other day to report a car in the ditch across from her house. She was answered by a recording and a series of tones so loud she had to hang up. Luckily, nobody was hurt in the crash and the car was promptly pulled from the ditch. But Carol wants to know why an operator didn’t answer her call and shouldn’t she have gotten a call back after she hung up the phone?

Onondaga County Emergency Management Commissioner Bill Bleyle says a caller has not made contact with 911 until an operator answers the phone. Even if you hear a recorded message, in theory, the phone is still ringing, so you won’t get a call back if you hang up. As for the recording itself, given that cell phone use is so widespread, it’s not uncommon for 911 to get many calls at once about the same accident. If that happens, and there are not enough operators to answer all the calls, a recording picks up on the third ring, instructing you to stay on the line. The tones Carol heard let a caller who is hearing impaired know he or she is waiting in queue and that they should stay on the line. Bleyle says it’s pretty uncommon to get that recorded message.

911 is required to answer 90 percent of its calls in 10 seconds or less. In the last month, Onondaga County Emergency Management has answered nearly 93 percent of its calls within 10 seconds or less. And nearly all were answered within 15 seconds or less.

Karen noticed when paying the balance she was charged sales tax on the original price of the beverages, not on the discounted cost. Is that legal, she asks?
 
According to the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, it can be. It depends on where your coupon came from.

If it is a manufacturer's coupon, your Dunkin' Donuts store would need to be reimbursed by the company for the discount.

So, the full price is still subject to the applicable sales tax.

Think of it this way: If someone pay for half of your coffee, the total transaction (that is, dollar amount) will still be taxed.

On the other hand, if the store itself reduces the price of an item, it can only tax the customer on the price that he or she paid.
