Ulster and Sullivan Execs Scrutinize Medicaid Billing
Ulster County Social Services Commissioner Bernhardt S. Kramer said the department maintains vigilance over Medicaid claims with several vendors under surveillance for possible irregular billing. Sullivan County Commissioner Robert B. Travis noted the 20 percent waste figure may apply more to urban areas, while upstate counties reportedly run tighter controls. In 1975 Ulster paid about 9.25 million in Medicaid, with some vendors investigated. Kramer declined to identify them, citing confidentiality.

Pond yields bones in Sullivan County girls case
A Brooklyn detective tied the search to a murder probe while Gold's office refrained from comment. Inr. Reichmann said he would wait for an official statement. Police combed the 60 acre White Sulphur Springs property of DeVernon LeGrand, a Brooklyn church figure, after a December tip. LeGrand has prior kidnap and rape convictions and runs a camp for children. authorities searched two weeks without finding the girls. A fresh informant tip led to the pond where remains were found, but it is unclear if LeGrand is connected. The site had health violations in the past and the body locations were reported as buried on the property.
