"Save 81 presents itself as a diverse, grassroots coalition of residents, employers and community groups who want to keep [URL='https://www.syracuse.com/state/2021/07/i-81-project-in-syracuse-see-the-entire-2-billion-proposal-with-maps-data-and-more.html']Interstate 81[/URL] traffic flowing through downtown Syracuse for decades to come.

But in reality, Save 81 is an elusive group of business owners and suburban politicians who want to keep traffic and money flowing into their hotels, the Destiny USA shopping mall and other businesses.

There is a lesson in the group’s recent effort. This summer, they dragged the living relatives of Underground Railroad heroine Harriet Tubman into a decade-long argument over replacing the highway in Syracuse."
