Public hearing on local government limits in Albany
The State Constitutional Convention committee on local government will hold a public hearing in Albany Thursday. Chairman Dr. Alan K. Campbell calls it the final and perhaps most important of eight hearings. Testifying will be Education Commissioner James E. Allen Jr. and Albany Mayor Erastus Corning. The panel is weighing whether tax and debt limits on local units should stay. An example is Middletown Board of Education asking voters to raise a too low limit to fund full education programs.
