A New Year’s wish presses Carter to lead a sane welfare reform addressing joblessness and poverty. The author criticizes the current programs as ineffective, calls for bold, inspired federal action to create jobs, improve education, and rebuild families and cities amid rising crime and inequality.
Albany AP report notes New York state must borrow nearly 4 billion annually due to irregular local aid payments. Comptroller Levitt calls for major study to cut borrowing, as 40 percent of the budget is paid in the first quarter while revenues lag. The system fuels interest costs and political, not fiscal, goals.
The piece argues that election year tactics push education funding increases without sustainable paying plans. It explains smoothing aid in a single year forces spring lump sums and fall payments, risking over a billion dollars in the budget and extending the borrowing cycle, with no available funds to cover such an expense.
Americans show high confidence in the national system for the coming year, with 24 percent saying a great deal and 61 percent a fair amount of trust in democratic judgment. Public trust in labor and media lags, while military leadership tops public regard.
Albany based columnist reviews a year of fess-ups, recalling predictions about Carter, Reagan, and NY politics. He admits misjudgments on Carter’s nomination odds, Reagan’s veep pick, and state figures like Mary Anne Krupsak and Nyquist. The piece ends with a jab at the Journalism Awards Committee.
