Philosophy of entitlement charged with limiting output
ANNE EISENMENGER reports Hoosick Falls Kiwanis heard Oak Materials Group director David Bidwell describe a rising “philosophy of entitlement.” He warned workers and welfare recipients alike feel entitled to higher pay, benefits, and time off, hindering productivity. Bidwell urged countermeasures, including clearer responsibility, merit-based pay, and opportunities for employee input to curb the trend.

Pownal School Budget Drops Despite Higher Tax Request
The 1977 78 Pownal Elementary School budget stands at 474 916 down from 481 781 the prior year but a larger tax bill is expected as state aid falls. Tax requests rise from 342 781 to 365 916 while estimated state funds drop from 118 000 to 98 000. The budget excludes Mt Anthony Union High School. Two field trips were approved and a potential load shedder discussion to cut heating costs is planned.
