He cited examples of the huge increase in social service budget; plus abuse within the county's welfare and Medicaid system, as well as the legislature's \pork barrel\ bed tax_ He further stated that the legisl1l- ture passed a sales tax increase but it was vetoed by the state. \There's a problem of state overreach into the counties resulting in little local control,\ Shanahan said. Several members attended the Regional Economic Development Council work- shop, held Sept. 13 at JCC. Deann Nelson presented an overview of information received during the workshop. Ten Regional Economic Development Councils are to develop five year strategic plans for long-term, sustainable regional economic growth. Duplication of services is rampant in the county, said Sid Compton, speaking about his Sept. 11 article in The Post-Journal (Look At The Numbers In Repetitive Government). Reducing services to seven county districts-Jamestown, Dunkirk, plus five others in the county-would save taxpayers $7 million each year. This also would reduc.e the current 18 school dis- tricts to seven. Compton's key point was that there would be no reduction in county workforce, only in management.
