Anderson rules out Medicaid takeover soon
New York Senate Majority Leader Warren Anderson warned county officials that a state takeover of local Medicaid costs is unlikely in the near term. He said commitments are not expected ahead of the April budget, while Assembly Speaker Fink suggested major new tax cuts may be dead for the year. Carey urged proceeding with the plan and boosting welfare benefits, as discussions continued over local revenue sharing and federal Medicaid cuts under Reagan proposals.

Ouster of Two Judges Capped by Censure for One
The New York state Commission on Judicial Conduct urged removing two town justices, Harold Carpenter of Haunsfield and David Petrie of Danube, for misconduct and censuring Justice John Racicot of Champlain for negligent and improper conduct. Carpenter and Petrie allegedly mishandled court funds, with Petrie failing to deposit and record thousands in deposits and leaving funds unprotected at home, while Racicot admitted seeking personal knowledge from a defendant’s associates. The panel noted removal would bar future judicial office and censuring is the strongest admonition short of removal.
