Don’t Mess Too Much With Happy Balance Of Governance, Politics
T
here’s value in simple stability, Otsego County’s new congressman, Chris Gibson, observed in addressing the Cooperstown Rotary at The Otesaga the other week. Nationally, the business community has $3 trillion sitting on the sidelines, waiting to know what the rules governing taxation and investment will be for the next five years before getting back in the game, Gibson said. What the rules are – Do we cut entitlements? Do we raise taxes? Do we do a little of both or none of either? – is not as important as deciding and sticking with it. Interesting. • The same goes for governance that, locally, we have some control over: our municipalities and the County of Otsego. Take the City of Oneonta, where the level of confidence in Mayor Dick Miller’s administration enabled voter approval of a new City Charter that created the position of city manager and led to the hiring of a veteran administrator, Mike Long. When the Mohawk Valley Economic Development Council announced a couple of weeks ago that a supplementary $8 million is available, Long had the knowledge and experience to quickly assemble a packet of grants – $3 million, give or take – from past applications and newly identified needs in time to meet a tight
deadline, Wednesday, March 13. It’s an intriguing list, from renovations to the WPAera stone bathhouse Abbate at Wilber Park, to housing renovations in a target area north of the downtown, to capturing methane produced at the sewage treatment plant to perhaps start generating electricity. The Oneonta model: Put the right structure in place, staff it professionally, pursue opportunities. And there’s an important human component: Miller has been able to get eight brainy, motivated, sometimes headstrong Common Council members to work together sufficiently and to agree, not on everything, but on everything important. Good things will continue to happen in Otsego County’s only City Hall. • Stability in Cooperstown Village Hall is allowing similar progress. Say what you will, but the paid-parking plan trustees adopted in December minimizes local impact – buy a $25 pass, and drivers can continue to do what they are doing now when they park downtown – yet will capture $¼ million a year in new revenues from tourists who, frankly, expect to pay for parking when they

visit Independence Hall, Colonial Williamsburg or our Hall of Fame. (As to regional shoppers, they avoid Cooperstown in the summer anyhow.) Mayor Jeff Katz has convened a task force to review ordinances that has been ruminating over issues that may seem miniscule to some. Lot-setback adjustments may warm the cockles of bureaucratic hearts, but they aren’t the stuff of community salvation. That said, consistency – as a general concept, not a fetish – has some merit. The concern expressed here before – that one-party rule (the Village Board is all-Democratic) inevitably stultifies and doesn’t serve the electorate – will be partially ameliorated in the Tuesday, March 19, election: David Maxson has
the endorsement of both the Democrats and Republicans; Lou Allstadt has the Democratic and an independent line. Neither has lock-step loyalty to the status quo, (effective as it has been shortterm.) • All that said, a multi-layered political battle is brewing more effervescently at the county level. The canny new county chair, Richard Abbate, who engineered Cooperstown’s Democratic sweep, is itching – you can tell – to do the same at the county Board of Representatives. That would only take one seat. Patent attorney Ed Lentz of Garrattsville, former Democratic county chair, has been nominated to run against first-term Republican Pauline Koren, the Milford businesswoman.
Democrat Teresa Winchester of Butternuts is again challenging Republican stalwart Jim Powers, R-Butternuts. Either could make that shift happen. But there are other variables. Cathy Rothenberger, D-Oneonta, only ran last time because another candidate didn’t surface. And who knows if the Democratic first-time reps, John Kosmer of Fly Creek, Gary Koutnik of Oneonta or Beth Rosenthal of Roseboom, will be challenged. Elected officials are most vulnerable when running for a second term. So, prudently, Captain Abbate appears to be steering the county-committee ship away from rough waters. The executive committee issued a statement the other day calling on Governor Cuomo to create a blue-ribbon panel to adjust the SAFE Act, the state’s new gun-control law and a potential hot-potato locally. And both Democrats on Powers’ Public Safety & Legal Affairs Committee – Rosenthal and Rothenberger – voted to send an anti-SAFE resolution to the full board, if just for discussion. Abbate’s invisible hand was also implied in the way the county committee, meeting Tuesday, Feb. 26, in Cooperstown, backpedaled from denying Mayor Miller, an independent, the Democratic line on the November ballot. Sustainable Otsego adherents such
as Winchester and Otsego Town Board member Julie Huntsman took pains to differentiate between fracking (which Miller opposes) and the Constitution Pipeline (which he supported), in contrast with Sustainable’s éminence grise Adrian Kuzminski, who had staked out opposing both as articles of anti-fracking faith. Kosmer, committee vice chair, remained mum. With all key Oneonta Democrats, including immediate past mayors John Nader and Kim Muller championing Miller, that was a wise step for Democratic unity, an essential one, really, if the party has any chance for achieving a county board majority this fall. Republicans, don’t underestimate Abbate’s determination. • As Gibson argues, stable government is essential. As Abbate demonstrates, politics can’t and won’t be discounted. The two are linked, and a healthy combination of each – not like the D.C. standoff, but solutions-focused – seems to be developing locally. The specific issues – The Manor, jobs, tourism promotion, professionalizing and streamlining government among them – can be more fully discussed here later. For now, a happy combination of the two factors that make for successful democratic government are evident here. Let’s determine to continue similarly.

Medical Costs Rising, Magnifying Any Cuts To COLAs To the Editor: In an attempt to be bi-partisan on debt-reduction, President Obama has made an offer to the Republican Congressional leadership to cut Social Security spending by simply reducing the annual cost-of-living adjustments to retiree benefits. These annual adjustments, (COLAs) are currently determined by using a Consumer Price Index (CPI) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) which measures the annual inflation in the cost of all goods and services for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. The current CPI is referred to as the CPI-W. This proposal was originally the idea of the Republicans and long advocated by them. It involves the substitution of a different CPI index, introduced by the BLS in 2002, called the “chain-weighed” CPI or the C-CPI-U. This new CPI would reduce future annual COLAs by about 0.3 percent. So if the average annual COLA increase is 3.0 percent, the new CPI index would reduce the average annual COLA to 2.7 percent. Now one may say that seems to
be a relatively small reduction for an individual retiree, but over the next 10 years alone it could save the federal government roughly $300 billion due to the effect of compounding. The supporters of this proposal contend that it is simply a technical adjustment designed to more accurately measure the effect of inflation on retiree benefits, and not simply a cost-reduction method. Is that really true, and therefore, a good idea? I don’t think so, and neither do many other actuaries, economists and benefit consultants. The fact is that it is very uncertain whether this new CPI truly provides a more accurate inflationary adjustment for Social Security and other retirement benefits. Opponents believe this proposal to be only a political strategy to cut Social Security spending simply because such spending is a huge component of the entire federal budget. That’s true, but it is not a valid reason, because Social Security spending has not yet contributed $1 to the federal deficit. It is, however, an easy target for deficit reduction-advocates, who believe
retirees receive too much entitlement benefits. Many professional benefit experts believe that the current CPI may actually understate the true cost of inflation on retiree benefits, due to the spending habits and needs of our seniors on fixed incomes. The escalating cost of medical care for seniors is one reason for such an opinion that the current CPI-W doesn’t properly reflect the full magnitude of that effect. We need a more comprehensive study of the effects of inflation on the spending patterns of our seniors before we make any changes in the method of calculating COLAs. With this in mind, I would ask all seniors on Social Security and other fixed incomes to ask their Congress members and the President to be more cautious about reducing our benefit entitlements. There are other, more sensible solutions to fixing the longterm financial distress of our entitlement programs. MARTIN J. WEISSMAN F.S.A., retired Oneonta

To the Editor: Congratulations to your newspaper (“Staff Flexibility,” Feb. 28 edition) for shedding more light than heat on the emotional subject of the problems that face Otsego Manor. The problems are not only the obvious financial hole that The Manor has been dug into, but also the apparent impasse with the CSEA. No one wants to see The Manor continue without disruption to the compassionate service given to the residents there (my wife is one). An increase of a quarter of one per cent to
the sales tax rate seems like an easy solution, but that would cover less than half of the projected deficit for 2013. Would the sales tax have to be increased each succeeding year as costs escalate? Manor Director Ed Marchi seems to have given painful alternatives thoughtful consideration. The county Board of Representative and the CSEA should consider adopting these alternatives before they are forced upon The Manor by a new management. WILLIAM DORNBURGH Cooperstown
Privatization Will Create Options For The Manor To the Editor: Otsego Manor is the latest “hot” issue. It seems that anyone who dares discuss the topic will be vilified by the other side rather than trying to address the real issues. Lets outline the facts: 1) The Manor is a firstclass facility that serves the needs of 174 people and is one of the best of its kind in New York State. 2) The County is subsidizing The Manor in the range of $5.5 million this fiscal year, an increase from $3 million last year and the projections are that this will increase annually. 3) The entire county budget is approximately $124.5 million, including Medicaid and welfare. 4) The Manor is not closing but it may be privatized. 5) The reimbursement rates from the state have been declining and will continue to do so, with the county making up the difference. 6) The projections from the county treasurer indicate that The Manor’s fiscal requirements will place the county in a financial jeopardy. 7) New York State is the highest tax state in the U.S. 8) The entire area is under financial stress, including schools, towns, villages and cities. The question that everyone should be asking is, “Can the county continue to run The Manor without jeopardizing the residents of The Manor and the other 61,000 county taxpayers.” Currently the budget al-
locates about 4.4 percent of the total budget to The Manor, with the rest of the budget providing such basic services roads, social services, sheriff department, parks, IDA, etc. The tough question is: To what extent will these services be sacrificed to maintain the current status of The Manor, or do we seek other solutions. Based on the current state of the local community, I would expect that the idea of raising taxes would not be a option, especially when the tax increase will only meet the current needs and not provide a long term solution. What can be done to insure the services which The Manor provides will be available in the future? While privatization is a concern, I submit it is the most viable option to the preservation of The Manor and here’s why: If the county continues to run The Manor, there is a very good chance The Manor will “shrink” under the financial burden placed on the county. Even if taxes are increased, the result will be an increased financial burden on the rest of the taxpayers and businesses, resulting in a further decline in the county, a county where the overall age of the populace is increasing. What guarantees do we have that this won’t happen if The Manor is privatized? There are no guarantees, but the future certainly would hold more options. First, when soliciting a “provider,” the county should Please See LETTER< A6

The season 1888 opens with the biggest real estate deal yet recorded for Oneonta in the purchase by Geo. I. Wilber, from A.C. Lewis, of all remaining to the latter of the old Ford place, 156.75 feet on Main Street, at about $30,000. This includes the east half of the Union Block, 22.5 feet, a fine four-story brick building, store on the street and three flats above – as well as a large barn and tenement in the rear, and the well-known old stone dwelling now used as a boarding house. The lot has an irregular rear, 180 feet in length, and varies in depth from 223 feet on the west line to 169 on the east line. The Ford property had originally a frontage of about 259 feet. It was purchased in July, 1881, by A.C. Lewis and C.B. Pepper at $11,500. Subsequently, Mr. Lewis gave his partner $1,000 bonus for his half interest. In 1882, D.F. Wilber purchased 80 feet, corner of Ford Avenue, with space in the rear for a barn, at $3,500. The next sale off the property was to M.S. Roberts, of East Meredith, who joined with Mr. Lewis in the building of the Union Block, securing 22.5 feet frontage with good rear, at $2,500. Now, Mr. Lewis closes out his interest at $30,000. Allowing $8,500 for his half of the Union Block and some other improvements, Mr. Lewis has put into the property $21,000. He takes out at least $30,000 plus $6,000 previous sales, making a clean profit of $15,000, which, considering the time involved, less than seven years, may be considered a pretty fair speculation.

Word of the national banking holiday came as a surprise to Oneonta’s three banking institutions, the Wilber National Bank, the Citizen’s National Bank & Trust Co., and the Oneonta Building & Loan Association, and to other banks throughout this vicinity. Bank employees were at their places of business Saturday morning ready to open as usual when telegrams were received announcing the holidays and ordering all banks to close. The text of the telegram read: “You are hereby advised that Governor Lehman has declared a banking holiday effective today, March 4, and Monday, March 6, during which all banking institutions will be closed. J.A. Broderick, Superintendent of Banks.” Officials of the three Oneonta banking institutions Sunday reaffirmed their confidence that the banks of this vicinity are in exceptionally good condition. They are ready to resume business as soon as they are permitted to do so. As far as Oneonta and vicinity is concerned the banking holiday is simply a temporary cessation of banking activity which will be resumed as soon as possible, perhaps as early as Tuesday. March 1933

Half of the symphony’s 70 members who gathered for a meeting at the Oneonta State fine arts building voted to form a board of directors and elected three members to it – Mary Anne Mazarak and William Manly of Oneonta and Jeanne Herst of Cooperstown. Robertson said last week that the 20-year-old symphony was in danger of folding due to financial and organizational problems. He said the formation of a board of directors will do a great deal to alleviate the organizational problems.

Catskill Airways recently took delivery of a prop-jet airliner, which will be put into service between Oneonta and New York City in approximately two weeks. The airplane, a Beechcraft 99 was purchased to accommodate increased demand for passenger seating. It will hold 15 passengers and will be flown with two pilots aboard. Currently the airline operates a Beechcraft “Queenair” which carries ten passengers and one pilot. Costing approximately a half million dollars, the new plane flies at 280 mph, carries more baggage and freight, is more fuel-cost efficient and takes only 35 to 45 minutes to reach New York City.

New York made a promise when it created the State University—a promise to keep SUNY accessible to all students. But today, the state is pulling back from that promise. A two-year funding freeze—on top of years of deep cuts in state support—has shifted more of the cost of higher education onto students and their families. Today, nearly 75 percent of SUNY’s operating budget comes from tuition and fees, compared to a decade ago when 75 percent came from the state. So more and more funding for SUNY is coming from tuition and fees. This amounts to an increasing burden on lower- and middle-income families.

A-6 LETTER/From A4 emphasize past experience and successes. This must be verifiable. Second, a “provider� with experience will be able to bring economies of scale with respect to buying power, financing and managerial expertise. Third, The Manor is a state-ofthe-art facility that can be expanded. The private sector can respond to these needs much more timely and cost effectively compared to the public sector. The fact that
our population base is aging makes this a very likely scenario. When considering privatization, the county could structure the sale in such a fashion that there would be certain criteria that must be met and, if they were not, then the county would be able to void the contract. Once a provider is selected and the price is determined, the county could require the buyer to put up a substantial, non-refundable dollar commitment which would
INSURANCE We All Need it!!! Why not go to the one Agency That offers over 20 companies. Your “HOMETOWN� Agency The BieriTz Agency
be placed in an escrow account. During this transition period, the buyer would be able to deal with labor issues along with any other issues that may arise. This is very much over simplified, but the fact remains that many things can be accomplished if people are willing to work together. Now is not the time to attack such county leaders as John Kosmer, Kathy Clark
or Jim Powers, for offering ideas, nor is it a time to address only the issue of today. Now is the time to put a plan in motion that will ensure that The Manor has a viable future by creating a successful plan that will have a chance of meeting the needs of the future while serving all 61,000 people of the county.
