Excerpts from Mayor Walsh’s June 1 Message to Al Excerpts from Mayor Walsh’s June 1 Message to All Employees: “My heart still aches over the killing of George Floyd and the pain and fear it has again exposed in our country, especially among communities of color. People took to the streets by the hundreds on Saturday in Syracuse and protested passionately.
