New York Telephone seeks further rate hike after PSC ruling
New York Telephone Co. president John Mulhearn signals another rate case after a $232.6 million increase. The PSC approved a 12 percent average residential rise and a 5 percent state toll cut delayed 60 days, with other charges and new service fees set to rise. The decision also denies a 20 cent pay phone Fee while allowing faster coin-phone times and new payment terms.

Dems claim welfare costs fall as reforms take effect
Albany Democrats defend welfare cost declines amid Republican pressure for deeper cuts. Speaker Steingut cites a six percent drop in the first half of the year, $156 million less than 1976, driven largely by Medicaid savings from reforms, though some declines began before reforms and scheduling quirks in NYC inflate year-to-year comparisons.
