County officials seek improvised payroll fix for Erie County
Erie County faces a shortfall of 851.49 to cover a regular payroll with 8042 left in the general fund and 175.81 owed in county controller funds. County Controller Harvey M Willis and Commissioner Helen M Scaluras propose transferring 2000 from the Erie County Tuberculosis hospital fund to meet payroll, a move not strictly legal and reliant on a Monday commission meeting to authorize. The hospital fund currently shows a 10,000 debt from last year and a 4979 balance, potentially allowing a short-term loan to cover the gap. In Pasadena, Dr Paul Popenoe warns of an “Infantile and Hollywood” family culture amid economic upheaval.
