Gov. Shap touts a 37 year lease for two urban renewal buildings in Harrisburg, claiming the state gains more than its dollars’ worth as taxpayers would face about 220 million versus 62 million to build. He argues the arrangement benefits state operations and urban renewal.
The governor warns against leasing office space, noting suburban builds would worsen Harrisburg’s decline. Rep. Al Ullman says a tax audit was delayed by a call to IRS Commissioner Donald Alexander, denying heavy scrutiny he usually faced. He describes two to three agent visits, while ordinary audits involve more.
A sweeping excerpt recalls years of IRS harassment under Nixon, detailing supposed special treatment for Ullman and Montoya, calls for investigations, and resignations. It notes rising retirements during the turmoil, followed by reduced figures after Nixon’s resignation, plus unrelated Washington notes on wildlife, transport, and Amtrak locomotive issues.
The article argues against mollification by continued administration nationalization. It suggests that leasing the two new buildings would allow the state to cancel leases on several smaller properties in and near Harrisburg, signaling a strategic shift in property management.
A West Coast study cited by Dr. Joan Lockard of the University of Washington links bust size to hitchhiking success, claiming padded increases raised rides from one in ten to one in five. The piece questions federal funding and calls for research addressing hunger, shelter, and crime alongside such experiments.
The piece weighs whether the nation has truly recovered from recession, noting production below early 1973 levels and uneven gains across sectors. It cites Thatcher’s warning on social spending, questions readiness for restraint, and observes inconsistent recovery with weak construction, December factory orders, and auto sales stabilizing after a spurt. It ends affirming forward direction but cautious optimism.
