ECSD 1 Million $ INMATE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Posted By: Joe Posted On: 8 days ago Views: 19 Sheriff's 1 million dollar inmate ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- August 10, 2008 COUNTY EXECUTIVE CHRIS COLLINS County Executive Chris Collins has barred the feds from the lockups and from the Juvenile Detention Center on the advice of the county attorney. Faced with a showdown with federal inspectors who want to tour the county Correctional Facility in Alden and county Holding Center; focusing on the health care and mental health care the facilities provide. County Attorney Cheryl A. Green for her part says the Justice Department uses such inquiries to force Counties to provide a level of health care for prisoners and inmates far greater than what the typical Erie County taxpayer has available to them. US Justice Department Special Litigation Section, Shanetta Y. Cutlar: Failure to cooperate will not halt our investigation, She threatened a lawsuit and warned of the negative inferences taken from the Collins position. Obviously not an issue faced by Collins in the "private sector." So with this in mind a PoliticsNY.Net reporter interviewed Collins on a number of issues Friday. by Staff Capital borrowing is still up in the air, contracts with eight unions are still unsettled, and the control board remains "hard" in its oversight role. But despite all of that, Erie County Executive Chris Collins is staying true to his goals of reforming county government and cutting taxes, and perhaps his most pressing aim right now is to move the oversight panel into an advisory role by the end of the year. "I dont think the downstate governor (Paterson) got very good advice," says Collins in describing the governors statement that he would veto the legislation that would have allowed the county to do its own borrowing without assistance from the control board, a step in loosening the oversight panels control over county finances. The first-year county executive says there was a big difference between the two bills before Gov. Patterson, one to soften the citys control board and the second to allow the county to do its own capital borrowing. "I would have hoped that he would have seen the difference," said Collins. "The county bill was nothing more than clarifying that as long as we [the county] had investment grade, we could do our own borrowing. We lobbied him; it was a bipartisan effort but I dont think he got very good advice." Collins says the veto, if it happens, has left the countys borrowing for capital projects "up in the air." "Weve agreed that one or the other (county or control board) will do a 12-month bond anticipation note for capital borrowing and the comptroller (Mark Poloncarz) it out there with RFPs," said Collins. "But the problem is, if we still have a hard control board in 12 months, who would do the 30-year borrowing to pay off the (approximately $50 million) BAN." Collins hopes the status of the control board will become clear after he submits his budget and four-year plan in October, but in the meantime the borrowing is up in the air. "It is a mess," Collins says. " I am personally encouraging the comptroller to release money for road projects [out of the general fund] but hes concerned about cash flow. It is a shame the governor said he would veto the legislation. What hes done is jeopardize all our capital projects, union jobs, and it is counter to what every elected official wanted." The RFPs by Comptroller Poloncarz are due back Aug. 15 and it is unclear what will happen at that point, even to the county executive. As for editorial opinion that hes at odds with the control board, Collins says: "They [the control board] have supported every one of my positions except the borrowing." He ticked off the panels support for his Six Sigma initiative, space utilization plan, personnel requests, and reorganization. "I would ask rhetorically, what are their stands that have helped? And their borrowing stand has jeopardized critical county projects." Collins is hopeful that his balanced four-year plan will move the control board into a "soft" mode by the end of the year and that the county will be able to make a case within three years to dissolve the board completely, one a fund balance of 5 percent of operating budget is in place. On the labor front, Collins says he is negotiating with some of the unions, namely AFSME & the CSEA, but "were still miles apart. Im looking at some major restructuring, especially with retirement health care, current health care co-pays, and time off. Right now the unions have 16 weeks off a year. Ive tried to negotiate but they are looking at small steps," adding he wants big changes. On the positive side, Collins says his bottom-up Six Sigma approach is paying off with nine green belts already at work running projects that he estimates will save the county well over $1 million a year. "Im very happy [with Six Sigma], and a lot of them are union employees," he says. "And well be launching more projects soon." As for the downsizing movement among some members of the legislature, Collins says he is in support of the early plan that would reduce the size of the legislature from 15 to 9 members. But he also expressed strong support for Legislature Chairman Lynn Marinellis commission to study the issue and says he believes that whether this year or in a year or two, downsizing will go before the voters and they will support it. On the states fiscal woes, Collins suggested it is the state that needs a control board. "They are in some serious trouble," says Collins alluding to the revenue shortfall from Wall Street, but quickly adding that the troubles have been years in the making. "They [Albany] have been out of control forever, spending at double and triple the rate of inflation, and it has come home to roost. They have been spendaholics and they will have to learn to tighten their belts."
