Judge dismisses appeal to keep township police
Judge Glenn McCracken dismissed the appeal by Local 964, ILU NA, seeking to overturn an arbitrator’s ruling that abolished Union Township police. He ruled the case not within his jurisdiction and that no appeal was permitted under state law. The dispute hinged on two supervisors’ votes to dismantle the force to save money, despite a no layoff clause in the contract.

Tax hike looms for New Castle Area schools
New Castle Area School District may raise taxes as budget gaps widen. Budget chair Larry DeBlasio says balancing the 1987-88 budget needs about 800000, not counting a deficit over 1.5 million from prior years. He hints at possible 3 mill increase and closing two schools, with consolidation plans under study and bond lenders proposing use of former George Washington Junior High. Board President Piccione notes limited alternatives and time, acknowledging possible building closures to save funds.
