"You have been falsely told

Mr. Flaumenbaum reminded the
Board that the CSEA had presented evidence showing that the
county could pay a oost-of-livlng
increase without any significant
effect on taxes.
"If this Board sees fit to adopt
a freeze," he warned, "it indicates that you see fit to Ignore

He added new evidence to the
case presented earlier by citing
areas in which the county could
save $35 million. Much of the
saving would come without any
action by the county.
Mr. Flaumenbaum cited a saving of $12 million next April
when the state assumes control
of the courts. He offered proof
that the state retirement system

healthy diet, regular check-ups and a good dental plan so you don't
have to worry about dental bills that you can't handle.
It's common sense, really. But all too many people put off regular
check-ups because of the expense. That's where we come in.
As we say, "We've got great plans for you." Our Dental Care Plan
is only one of them.
After all, the Blues invented pre-paid health care and doesn't it
seem logical that we can deliver the best dental care promptly
and efficiently.
If your employee group wants to discuss a dental plan, give us
a call.
emphasize the impact of unemployment upon public workers in this state. For the week
ending Aug. 27 there were 100,880
federal, state and local government employees receiving unemployment benefits In New York
State, a whopping 19 percent of
the 608,350 total unemployed for
that week as reported by the
New York State Labor Department.
"Part of those totals represent
seasonal public employees primarily employed within school
districts, but even before the infusion of those people onto the
unemployment roles, in June
1976, there were 55,000 government workers claiming unemployment benefits. So, even with
45,000 seasonal-type public workers going off unemployment with
the start of the new school year,
over 9 percent of all tinemployed
people in this state are still
public workers.
"We have no basic arguments
over federally funded programs,
such as the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act, designed to assist the unemployed
by providing jobs. But we have
serious complaints when such
federal funds are used to substitute for local funding and violate the spirit and Intent of the
act by supplanting rather than
supplementing public service
work.
"Several negative things occur
when state and local governmental jurisdictions use federally funded programs to substitute
locally funded positions with federally funded employees. For one
thing, a lower level of poverty
is created because public employees are not eligible for extended unemployment benefits
available to private sector unemployed, so the amount of unemployment benefits are substantially less for public employees
laid off than they are for private sector employees. This, of
course, has an effect upon the
general economy of the area involved. And it is ironic that
when an employee is laid off
in the name of budgetary problems, the state still picks up the
tab because It pays the unemployment benefits of the employees laid off. And It goes
without saying that levels of
service to the tax-paying public
decline when experienced public
workers are sacrificed to the unemployment roles.
"I would like to remind this
committee that the new Local
Public Works Employment Act
(PL 94-369), which went into
effect on July 22. provides money to "maintain existing levels
of public employment services."
Title II of this act provides $1.25
billion to supplement operating
expenses of state and local gov-"
ernments.

The CSEA Demand
N a press conference last week, Theodore C. Wenzl, president of the Civil Service Employees Assn., declared that
union negotiators will seek a 22 percent wage increase from
the state for its 147,000-plus members.
CSEA-State contract negotitaions are set to begin in
early November.
Now some people—employers, generally—hold that a
22 percent wage boost is much too much. We have listened
patiently to the arguments pressed forward by these people.
We have also forgiven them for their unhappy habit of
kicking blind, crippled newspaper boys in the shins.
One argument they pose is that the state cannot afford this wage hike.
This is patently absurd.
If Gov. Hugh L. Carey can buy himself a new executive
jet aircraft; if the state can afford to bankroll an outpost
in New Dehli, India, in the faint, dim hope t h a t this office
will glom some trade to the state (guru lessons? cobras?),
and if the good gentlemen and gentlewomen can vote
themselves lavish "lulus," then we are convinced, despite
the arguments of the newspaper-boy kickers, that the state
can spring for some money for its employees.
But the newspaper-boy kicker whines, "But this 22 percent; isn't it outrageous?"
No.
It isn't.
As Dr. Wenzl cogently put it: "The need for a pay
increase for state employees is self-evident. The 22 percent
demand is justified by the fact that, over the past 10 years,
the consumer price index has risen more than 22 percent
above the salary increases for state workers during the
same period."
The 22 percent boost isn't giving the public sector
worker a thing; it is putting him or her where he or
she should be.
Twenty-two percent? The newspaper-boy kicker thinks
that is a big amount. Dr. Wenzl defines it, though.
"Spread over the last two years," said the CSEA chief,
"when they got no raise, and covering the next fiscal year,
it amounts to an average increase of just $800 a year
per worker; and that is not very large."
And not even the most black-hearted newspaper-boy
kicker could dispute that.

i Questions & Answers |
Q. I expect my divorce to become final soon. How soon after
this should I expect my social
security checks on my husband's
work record to stop?
A. A Wife's check usually stops
the month the divorce decree
becomes final. However, if you
are 62 or over and you were married 20 years or more, your checks
will continue even if you're divorced. Regardless of whether
your payments will continue, you
should notify social security if
your name is changed as a result of the divorce.
Q. My uncle has worked all
his life as a street vendor. I
know he isn't making what he
used to, and I think he might be
eligible for supplemental security
income payments. Can you tell
me what the requirements are?
A. The supplemental security
income program makes monthly
payments to people with little
or no income and limited resources who are 65 or over or
blind or disabled. People with
some other Income may be eligible for reduced payments. Your

Sandra Kotwff, secretary: "I would not miss any
of the nonproductive agencies
in which employees get high
pay for little work. I used to
know a fellow from the Department of Marine and Aviation
who was paid $12,000 a year to
watch and report if the ferries
were on time. Also, I would not
miss people like the special consultants, executive assistants,
assistant administrators, deputy
commissioners, administrators,
chairmen, assistant principals, deans and others
of the like."
Nell
Terry Lawler, secretary: "The service I would miss
the least is the City Planning
Commission which, I feel, ignores neighborhood needs. Each
neighborhood is supposed to
have a say in the development
of special projects and site
selections. I live in Staten Island and our community voted
against project "Theme Park,'
another Coney Island. The City
Planning Commission thinks of
the project as a source of more
tax revenue, and is attempting to override the
community's decision against the construction.
Since there are no major freeways to route the
traffic, we fear congestion during weekends, when
tens of thousands would drive through our residential areas."
Liz Weis, college teacher: "I would not miss the
Highway Department if it were
eliminated. They managed to
construct the Cross Bronx Expressway, a highway running
from Connecticut to New Jersey, without any signs to indicate how or where to exit to
Manhattan. I certainly wouldn't
miss the Bureau of Engineering
that was responsible for the
upkeep, or should I say downkeep, of the West Side Highway
and Ocean Parkway. I feel Manhattan should be
closed to all unessential traffic. The money saved
from traffic regulations in the city could be used
to improve the mass transit. This would relieve
the congestion and improve the air."
college assistant: "What I would
miss the least is the duplication
of Jobs within services. I am
not talking about a specific service, but about the fact that
two or three people are doing
the same service as a followup. This is not essential. Rather, it is bureaucracy and mismanagement. We'd be better off
if the essential services weren't
so understaffed. The people
who do the 'duplication' could
be well used in the performance of essential services."

The pressure to change pension plans in the face of mounting fiscal problems is mounting.
Massachusetts will soon release a comprehensive proposal to fund an $8 billion accrued liability. Delaware and

changes for employees who Joined the service after July 1. It
is the policy of some politicians

the problem of finding enough
funds to pay the tab which is
a target of editorial writers.
In the meantime, the declining
benefits for government employees are a major factor in declining applications for government
Jobs and a stimuli for the more
experienced employees to take
up option retirements.
New York City pension costs
are estimated at $1.2 billion a
year. The recommendations of recent studies would raise contributions by 16 percent. It is
thought that this would place
the city's system on an actuarially sound basis. Eventually this
plan would cut the city's pension cost by about 20 percent,
using such devices as raising the
normal retirement age and integrating the social security payments into the total pension,
thus cutting out in effect the
benefit of social security cash to
retirees.
Thus far, city employees have
agreed to resume employee pension contributions amounting to
2—21/2 percent of their salaries,
but the pressure for more concessions continues.

we undertook to emphasize the
point by employing the phrase
'purely arbitrary.' These words
were applicable only under the
stiatutory scheme as embodied in
the Education Law and not that
contained in the Civil Service
Law, since an Article 78 review

the employee elects to pursue It.
Since he elected to the contrary
in this case, and since there can
be no question as to the admitted facts pertiaining to his nine
days' absence from duty, there
could be no finding in any event
that the decision of the Commission was either 'arbitrary' or
'purely arbitrary'."
THE COURT took into con-
sideration that the penalty of
dismissal was one that was
within the statutory frtamework
available to the Chief of Police
of Section 75.3 of the Civil Service Law. The court concluded
that mere disagreement with the
decision of the Police Department or of the Civil Service

overturn the penalty which was

Per Capita Aid
Is Distrilnited
ALBANY—state Comptroller Arthur Levitt announced
he had made a quarterly distribution of $33,866,014.75 in
state per capita aid to counties
otuside New York City and to
towns and villages.
Payments were sent to 57
counties, 556 villages and 930
towns.
Unlike other types of state aid,
which are paid for a specific p u r pose such as education, highways and health, the per capita
aid can be used for any governmental purpose. It Is often referred to as "state revenue sharing."
The payments are computed
under a formula prescribed by
the legislature. I t is based primarily on population but provides for some upward adjustment for low per capita property
values and, in the case of counties, for low per capita personal
income. In additon, there is some
Increase to the extent total payments to all localities, including
cities, under the formula fall
below 9 percent of the state's
personal income collections for
the preceding State fiscal year.

WHEN YOUR DOCTOR
SUGGESTS SURGERY
. . . AND YOU
AREN'T SURE
The Second Surgical Consultation
Program is now available to state
and local government employees
in the Albany and New York City
metropolitan area who are
enrolled in the New York State
Employees Health Insurance Program
Why is this program offered?
Surgical Consultations can be expensive. The cost of a seccond opinion may, in the past, have prevented patients from
seeking consultations. The Second Surgical Consultation Program removes this cost barrier by paying the full cost of a consultation arranged by the program. Any X-rays and laboratory
test required to complete the consultation will also be paid.
All surgery involves certain risks. In some cases, the consultant may suggest an alternative method of treatment, or may
recommend that surgery is not necessary. If the need for surgery
is confirmed, a second surgical consultation offers peace of
mind to the patient and reassurance to the doctor that the proposed surgery Is the best treatment for the patient. Consultations offer you and your physician a way to achieve the highest
quality of medical care possible.

"LULU" PLEDGE
Senate Minority Leader Manfred Ohrenstein (D-Manhattan)
recently pledged that he will make a fight when the Senate reconvenes next January for the creation of an independent commission on legislator salaries and allowances that would probe the
"lulu" situation and would recommend which of the "lulus"—
shorthand for expenses paid to legislators "in lieu of expenses"
should be abolished. Speaking at a recent news conference, Mr.
Ohrenstein said he was pleased that some "lulus" had been abolished
but observed that the reform in this matter "still has a long way
to go." The Democratic leader said that there are still some legislators who are, in his words, "not deserving" of the extra compensation. He declined to identify such legislators, however. "Lulus" are
intended to compensate legislators in leadership or committee head
posts for expenses that they incur because of their positions. The
practice of issuing "lulus" has in recent months eome under fire
by a number of groups and individual legislators and has been the
object of several lawsuits intended to spike the practice.

SUNY OWES . . .?
State Comptroller Arthur Levitt has alleged that the Research
Foundation of the State University of New York owes the stae $47
million. The Foundation denies the debt and refuses to pay. Mr.
Levitt, in a report, says that the Foundation, which administers
private and federal grants for research projects at various SUNY
facilities, has made questionable expenditures, failed to invest money
properly and had bad bookkeeping and fiscal administrative procedures. During the 1974-75 fiscal year, grants extended to the Foundation were in excess of $71 million. After distribution of cash among
individual research projects, the Foundation charges for overhead
and administrative costs. Mr. Levitt argues that this overhead
should not properly revert to the Foundation but to the state. In
addition, the Comptroller said, some of the funds were used to buy
memberships inp rivate clubs, concert tickets, decorations for offices
and for other unauthorized expenses. "In many cases," the Comptroller's audit report said, "expenditures did not conform with the
purpose for which the funds jof programs were expended."

R-56th District); Jess J. Present,
(R-57th District), and Katharine
A. Tarbell (D-5&th District).
The region chose not to make
endorsements in Assembly Districts 138, 139, 145 and 147, and
Senate District 60.
Also endorsed was Incumbent
State Supreme Court Justice
Prank J. Kronenberg
Ms. Gallagher said the endorsements were based on profiles collected on the candidates,
personal contact and observation by CSEA members, examination of candidates' records
while in office, and impressions
received at a CSEA-sponsored
candidates night.
Some candidates, Ms. Gallagher said, are slated to receive
financial batking ft^om CSEA
political action funds. Others
would get volunteer help, she
added.
Decisions not to endorse in
certain districts, "usually were
because we didn't have sufficient
material," the chairman of the
region's political action committee said.
The issue that stirred the most
controversy at the business session was the strike by the Buffalo Teachers Federation. After
several intricate maneuverings
that included roll calls and
weighted votqs, the deilogates
went along with a resolution by
Salvatore Mog\avero not to publicly endorse the BTP strike.
Mr. Mogavero, president of the
Erie Educational chapter, said
CSEA field representative Robert Toung. left, form«-ly an active
CSEA member as Erie chapter delegate and CSEA County Executive
Committee vice-ohairman, greets region's newest staff-member,

teachers did not support CSEA
work stoppage efforts and did
not deserve CSEA support in
their strike.
Others argued that as public
employees opposed to the Taylor
Law's no-strike clause, teachers
merited CSEA backing.
The meeting wias conducted by
region president Robert Lattimer,
who told the delegates his 12
months-plus at the helm of the
region "has been an education."
Mr. Lattimer also said results
of a survey throughout the CSEA
rgardlng roles of committees Indicated "we are duplicating ef.fort . . . a waste of money."
He said he planned to vise the
results of the questlonniaire to
attempt to streamline CSEA operations.
Roger and Jerry Frieday, both of SUNT at Buffalo chapter 640,
are two of region's most active workers. Ms. Frieday is currently
serving as the regional meeting coordinator.
Among representatives from Buffalo chapter 003 were delegate Ron
Blaszcxykiewicz, left, and third vice-president Richard Scymanski,

CO
NEW CITY—The Rockland County unit, Civil Service
Employees Assn., has again asked that its contract dispute
with the county be resolved at the bargaining table.
Spokesmen pointed out that it is the logical step, now
that the county claims it never
rejected a fact-finder's report
issued last summer.
Rockland County CSEA unit
president Patsy Spied, in a letter that was hand-delivered to
Legislature Chairman Bernard
Fallon last week, wrote: "I understand that the county has
accepted the fact-finder's report,

Petition Fraud
WEST SENECA—The president of the West Seneca
unit, Civil Service Employees Assn., has charged
his name was forged on a nominating petition for a State Assembly candidate he opposes.
Edwiard J. Hummel, a deputy
assessor in the town, said his
signature had been forged on
independent nominating petitions for West Seneca Councilman John E. Riley, a nominal
Democrat, who has accepted the
Republican-Conservative nomination in the 148th Assembly District.
Mr. Hummel said he supports
the incumbent in the race,
Democrat-Libeital Assemblyman
Vincent J. Grabef. Mr. Graber
has been endorsed by Western
Region VI (Buffalo) of the
CSEA.
Mr. Hummel noted he refused
to sign the petition on Sept.
13 when two campaign workers
came to his apartment.
"At that time," he said," I
strongly emphasized I would not
sign a petition on Mr. Riley's
behalf."
Mr. Hummel added two neighbors witnessed his refusal to sign.
ommendation that the 1975 payroll be increased for 1976 by 3.5
percent, to be divided up between increments and other payments as the parties mutually
determine."
"I also understand that your
negotiating team informed you of
our position with respect to the
report: That we would accept
and work within the parameters
outlined by the fact-finder, with
payments to be mutually determined.
"In order to facilitate the implementation of the report, I
would suggest that the CSEA negotiating team meet with yourself or any persons who would
have the authority to execute an
agreement."
The 1,800 Rockland County
employees represented by CSEA
have been working without a
contract since Jan. 1.
Implementation ?
After months of deadlocked
contract talks, a Public Employment Relations Board fact-finder was brought into the dispute
and Issued the report mentioned
in Mr. Spicci's letter.
The county legislature, despite
the union's determination to try
to work out a mutually acceptable way of implementing the
report, has scheduled a legislative hearing for Oct. 12, at 9
p.m., in the Clarkstown Hall.
After this hearing, the legislature can, by law, impose the
wages and working conditions
county employees must work under for one year. However, the
hearing was intended to be a
last resort. Mr. Spied has pointed out that since both sides have
accepted the fact-finder's report,
and the only remaining problem
is that of implementing it, the
next step is to go back to the
bargaining table to work out an
agreement.
CSEA Wins Amherst Vote
AMHERST — Approximately 120 white-collar workers of the Town of Amherst,
Erie County, are now represented by the Civil Service Employees Assn. following an election recently conducted by the
Public Employment Relations
Board.
There was no other organization vying for representation
rights but the Amherst workers
voted by a margin of two-toone in favor of the CSEA as
opposed to having no union representation.
2 2 % Hike
Demanded
(Continued from Page 1)
March 1978, the consumer price
index will have risen 86.8 percent while salary Increases and
increments for state employees
have gone up by 64.5 percent during the same period.
Gov. Hugh L. Carey, apparently
caught off base by the CSEA's
public announcement of its demands, was interviewed by an
Albany television station as he
stepped from an aircraft at the
Albany Airport. The Governor
called the demand "unreasonable" but noted that he had met
with Dr. Wenzl and other CSEA
officials the week before and
said that he, too, felt state
workers had sacrificed greatly. It
was his position that the administration will make an effort
to achieve what the Governor
termed "a reasonable Increase."
Dr. Wenzl told the press representatives the union's proposal represents a cost package of
$397 million, including $330 for
the 22 percent increase; $45 million for the $2,400 minimum, and
$22 million in increments. Responding to a question. Dr. Wenzl
said that while the total figure
may seem large to the administration, the individual raise
would not seem large to the employees themselves.

large," he said.
Dr. Wenzl noted that the average salary for state employees
