Pension bill differences still unresolved in Albany row
State leaders return to bargaining with Gov Cuomo after Assembly approval of a Tier IV pension reform bill. Senate already passed its version and left town. Key clashes include Social Security offset for prison officers, retirement age, and cost differences. Both sides keep 3 percent employee contributions. Assembly plan costs more, especially in New York City, with 330,000 Tier I workers affected. The 1983 session nears end and a quick resolution is needed to avoid extending current law.

Court upholds SLA beer license revocation in Queens store
New York Court of Appeals upholds the State Liquor Authority's decision to yank the Keg and Cheese Shoppe beer permit in Howard Beach after inspectors found the store stocked mainly with non grocery items. Judge Wachtler dissented, likening the SLA to Wonderland and calling the evidence insufficient. The Best brothers continue operating the shop.
