No Pay Hike Seen In Erie Budget Sessions Open Tomorrow
Erie faces a $1,000,000 budget deficit that nearly eliminates any general city pay hike and likely blocks extra police and firemen. Mayor Gardner seeks 26 more officers and Safety Director Cannavino 15, aiming for 30 more firefighters. Backstage talks focus on targeted wage adjustments approved by the joint policy board for ten workers, including an $800 annual rise for Tax Collector John Mart, subject to council review. Cannavino notes two new fire inspectors would study rooming houses after a deadly blaze last week.

Senate moves to end school crisis and tax debate
The Senate weighs an income levy with federal-like deductions to raise about 300 million for the current biennium while House lawmakers push administration backed measures to fund an 31 million dollar teacher pay raise. Leaders discuss tax reform as Republicans previously blocked a classified income tax proposal. Budget gaps loom with 60 million dollars in state treasury short of past due school obligations.

Tech squares off with Sugar Bowl over racial policy
Van Leer notified Griffin on November 26 that Wiet Tech would accept Sugar Bowl if offered, while Gov conflict and student demonstration sparked anger at Tech action. Regents rejected Governor's demand to remove Tech from Sugar Bowl amid a new race policy allowing out of state teams to play mixed, while Georgia states prohibit mixed teams. Williams Lytle Butler elected president of the Middle District Producers Association.
