Combating Lead In Syracuse

My name is Bernicia Appiah. I'm a senior at Jamesville-DeWitt high school and my project focuses on addressing but also attending to the issue of lead in our city.  I chose this topic as it has been a passion of my fathers and I. My family has been affected by lead poisoning prior to us moving to New York so it also has a personal impact on me. My research question was: What are the barriers preventing the Syracuse City government from their budget spending on lead poisoning?
