From p. 1 Pictured here are Pat and Eric Edwards of Bliss with their entry in the pumpkin contest held at the Arcade office of Citizens Central Bank last Thursday ThettTpurnpkin contained a cannngof a witch riding a broom.

Assemblyman Kennedy Reports on Block Grants During my travels in the 147th Assembly District, questions concerning President Reagan's block grant proposals inevitably arise I'd like to take this opportunity to review this new concept. For President Reagan, the concept of block grants is a major part of the transition of federally supported social programs to the states. In this way, federal spending and taxes can be reduced, and government programs r.an be administered by officials who are closer tc the taxpayers who .are funding them. In 1930, local gov ernments collected and spent 50* of every tax dollar collected in this country, state govern ments collected 17* and the federal government collected 33*. Fifty* years later, the division of the tax dollar and the way federalism operates is drastically changed. Local govern ments are now collecting and spending only 159 on the dollar, states get 18* but the federal govern ment now takes 67f. Presidents of both political parties from Roosevelt to Carter had expanded federalism to the point that there were 574 separate grant programs •to local and state govern- ' ments at the beginning of 1981. Most of these programs require a matching local grant, but there is also $4.6 billion in federal revenue sharing to 38,000 local govern ments. President Reagan has attempted to consolidate many of the 574 grant programs and reduce federal support to many social programs. These cutbacks may mean that local and state governments will have to raise taxes if they wish to. continue programs which were being funded by the federal government. The Reagan Adminis tration believes that social priorities should be determined by state and local officials, not the federal government. In their opinion, block grants will mean greater account ability of how your tax dollars are spent. Those who are at first distressed by the spending reductions in \Reagan- omics\ must remember that ihereis another side to the coin. New Yorkers will benefit greatly from federal tax reductions. Since our state income and local property taxes are at the top of the national list, reductions in federal income taxes will be a boost for individuals and businesses in the Empire State. Further, the so-called Reagan cutbacks give New York an opportunity to get a handle on its social welfare spending. Conservative votes.
