Jamestown Workers Protest Pay Raise
Jamestown reports show city employees receiving a late year pay raise of 6.66 dollars more than prior pay after tax withholdings. They filed a formal protest with the council finance chair and comptroller, questioning legality and retirement payment handling from a new 240 dollar bonus. The raise effectively increases the bonus to 160 dollars, with retirement reductions not applied to the bonus portion as last year.

Pardon Board Grants Appeal To Save Erie Man
Gouvernor Martin set the week of March 20 for the execution of William McCausland, condemned for first degree murder in Erie County. McCausland filed an appeal to the pardon board seeking commutation from death to life imprisonment, with the board to consider clemency around February 20 after district attorney Laub notified the governor no delay is required. In his plea, McCausland cited drink and claimed he did not know the act’s consequences, asking the board to view his case as not deliberate killing.
