CCAP
DIRECTOR RESPONDS TO PROPOSED STATE BUDGET
Douglas E. Hill, executive director of the
County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania (CCAP) today issued the
following statement concerning the announcement of Governor Ed Rendell’s
proposed budget for FY 2010-2011:
Pennsylvania’s economy
continues to feel the impacts of a very slow recovery, a reality reflected
in Governor Rendell’s 2010 – 2011 budget proposal released today. It is
our belief that even in this environment, core government services provided
by counties on behalf of the state must be the last to be cut, and the first
restored when the economy improves.
Counties are diligently
working to manage programs and services in the face of funding cuts in last
year’s adopted budget, further reduced in the Governor’s mid-year budget
freeze announced only days after counties adopted their own budgets for
2010. And in the previous fiscal year, counties were forced to cope with the
effects of two mid-year budget reductions from the Governor. In the perfect
storm of the current fiscal crisis, case loads and service demands have
increased at the same time funding has decreased. With each successive year
of cuts, the service delivery system is further weakened, requiring more and
more counties to make the kinds of budget and staffing cuts that affect the
quality of life of local residents.
Counties are calling on the
General Assembly to adopt a fair and timely budget. A fair budget will
maintain state funding to support services that benefit the health of local
communities, including particularly human services, environmental programs
and funding for courts and corrections. We are pleased to hear that state
leaders are taking steps to assure a budget is adopted by June 30. Counties
cannot afford another protracted impasse like the one they endured last
year. The cash flow issues cost local taxpayers millions statewide, some
local service providers shut down temporarily or went out of business
completely, and local budgets have not recovered from the loss of reserve
and interest funds caused by the impasse.
The Association is reviewing
the funding levels in the Governor’s 2010 – 2011 spending proposal and
will issue a more detailed evaluation in the next couple of days. However,
we note that, since 2002, funding has been cut for a wide variety of
services provided by counties. Even during better economic times, funding
levels fell far short of increases in costs and demands for service. The
result has been an erosion of the state’s commitment to fund mandated and
necessary core government services, and a greater burden passed to local
taxpayers.
The Association is encouraged
that the Governor recognized that local communities need revenue to offset
costs associated with Marcellus development, including environmental,
emergency management, human services, and infrastructure costs in the host
counties and municipalities. While the Association has no position on
enactment of the proposed severance tax – the Association’s priority for
Marcellus is restoration of assessability for property tax purposes that was
lost in a 2002 PA Supreme Court decision – the Association does
nonetheless support redistribution of a share of the proposed severance tax
to impacted counties and municipalities.
We stand ready to work with
the state on all fronts. Counties will stand up for local taxpayers by
advocating adequate funding for mandated and necessary services to assure
the health of our communities. We will continue to seek mandate relief where
appropriate, and will look for support to achieve cost-savings measures to
help counties stretch limited program dollars for the greatest efficiency
and effect.

historical budget issues since 2002 as well as analysis of the Governor’s
2010 – 2011 budget proposal, please visit http://www.pacounties.org/Pages/2010-11CommBudget.aspx.

PENNSYLVANIA
COUNTIES UNVEIL 2010 PRIORITIES
Legislative Agenda Includes Human Services
Funding,
Marcellus Shale And Tax Fairness Issues
HARRISBURG — County leaders from throughout Pennsylvania today unveiled
their list of ten key legislative priorities for 2010
aimed at assuring adequate funding for human services, tax equity for local
residents, government efficiency and seeking cost savings
while working to assure that funding decisions at the state level
do not adversely impact local taxpayers.
Joe Giles, Erie County council member and president of the County
Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania (CCAP) said,
“Counties’ legislative priorities for 2010 reflect some of our
long-standing policy positions, such as a broadening
of the tax base available to counties to fund local services and assuring
adequate state funding for core government services.
The CCAP legislative priorities also reflect the needs arising from a
difficult fiscal year in 2009 when state funding in many
program areas was cut, and counties suffered greatly due to the
101 day budget impasse in Harrisburg.”
“Our top priority is funding for human services. We will call upon the
General Assembly to make sure the FY 2010-2011 budget
is delivered on time but also honors the state’s obligation to maintain
adequate levels of funding for core government
services that will protect the health of our communities. These are both
important targets that lawmakers must hit this year.
Counties, and the residents they serve, cannot afford another budget stalemate,
which resulted in major cash flow issues, service reductions or shutdowns
and loss of local reserve funds. The state budget must
be completed timely and responsibly and must preserve funding for human
services.”
Giles discussed counties’ sensitivity to the ongoing
effects of the recession and concerns related to the
commonwealth
budget for fiscal year 2010-2011. He noted that a number of the counties’
priorities relate to broadening local elected
officials’ discretion to generate revenue for specific purposes in light
of continued state funding decreases. Those
alternatives include restoration of a county recycling fee, funding specific
projects related to recycling, a local share of
revenue from oil and gas development and the continued concern of
Pennsylvanians for property tax reform at every level
of local government to provide a more equitable way to fund all services.
“There are a couple of legislative proposals, some of which have received
active consideration in the past year that would allow
counties to reduce their reliance on property taxes. This is a long-standing
CCAP priority, and, in an economic environment where
creative solutions are needed to improve the equity of local taxation in
Pennsylvania, one which is ripe for legislative action.
Counties support options such as a sales tax, earned income tax
or personal income tax, accompanied by a commensurate reduction in local
property taxes,” Giles said.
Development of Marcellus Shale resources continue to affect local
communities while impacted counties receive no revenue
from oil and gas development. Counties seek the restoration of their ability
to assess oil and gas interests as property. Giles
noted that counties had the ability to assess oil and gas prior to a 2002
Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision. If the state does
not reverse the court decision through legislation, the property tax burden
will be borne disproportionately by the remaining taxpayers.
Counties also support a local share of any new revenue to
be derived from natural gas development through state levies such as a
severance tax.
“Other businesses in the commonwealth contribute a share to the local
property tax base, and producers of other minerals
such as coal and limestone already pay a share as well. If the legislature
does not restore counties’ ability to assess oil and
gas, the tax burden will be disproportionately shouldered by all other
property taxpayers. There is no reason that other
local taxpayers should continue to be forced to subsidize property taxes
that should be paid by energy companies generating
profits in Pennsylvania.”
Giles explained that while a number of county priorities relate to
restoration of powers removed from counties by the
courts, the failure of the state to adhere to a 1987 decision of the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court is the basis of counties’
court administration and funding priority. In late 2009, CCAP’s solicitor
presented arguments before the Court supporting a
motion to seek enforcement of that order, which found that the state must
assume administration and funding of the lower courts
to maintain equity in the justice system.
“The Court has ruled that a lower court system funded by 67 counties with
disparate fiscal capacities creates an inherently
unequal system of justice. The state has failed to take steps to achieve the
equity required by the Court, and in fact has shifted
more responsibility to the local level. State reimbursements for court costs
on a per judicial position basis, which have not been
adjusted since 1981, have continued to decline due to budgetary cuts.
While we hope that a new dedicated fee for district attorney
funding will be enough to fund the commonwealth share
of the DA’s salary moving forward, counties are still owed for this
obligation from 2008 and 2009,” Giles said.
The remaining CCAP priorities cover a range of topics. The Association said
the state must address funding for local roads,
bridges and mass transit alongside state funding needs to assure reliability
of the entire transportation network. Modernization of
laws governing emergency response procedures and funding and administration
of 911 centers is another priority. Counties will work
with the legislature and the executive agencies to address a number of
policy issues related to development of Marcellus Shale.
Farmland preservation and workforce development are also issues
counties say are critical to their operations in 2010.
“In 2010, while our list of priorities has changed, the key message
remains the same: funding cuts at the state level do
not automatically equate to cost savings for taxpayers. If the Governor and
the General Assembly do not do their part to fund
mandates, county officials will continue to hold them accountable to the
public for shifting costs to the local level, where
property owners will pay for their decisions through increased property
taxes,” Giles said. “At the
same time, we are extending a hand in partnership, offering to be part of
the solution. Our priorities include proposals that
will empower county officials to maintain programs and services in the face
of budget cuts, and in a manner that is appropriate
for their counties. We have also identified areas where cost savings can be
achieved through mandate relief. But by virtue of the
constitution and the nature of the relationship between state and
local government in Pennsylvania, county commissioners, and the taxpayers of
Pennsylvania, need the General Assembly to act on
these matters,” Giles concluded.
County leaders will be coming to Harrisburg on February 8 to meet with
legislative leaders to discuss the priorities. More
information about each of these priorities can be found at www.pacounties.org,

COUNTY
FACED DIFFICULT 2009, READY FOR 2010
Not unlike
most governing bodies on the local, state or federal level in 2009,
Mercer
County
officials found themselves wrestling with financial issues during a
difficult budget year that is threatening to be even more difficult in 2010.
Working together with representatives from both the public and private
sectors, however, the county was able to realize some very significant
accomplishments. Perhaps most significant for taxpayers was the county’s
use of a combination of pay rate reductions, layoffs and unfilled positions
to save money in 2009 and move into 2010 with a balanced budget without a
property tax increase.
The county also continued to
provide mandated services without funding from the state during
Pennsylvania
’s long budget stalemate. Utilizing cash reserves and through cooperation
with local providers, services and the business needs of those providers
were maintained.
To complete
the Dec. 30, 2009, sale by
Woodland Place
of its assets to South Western Alpha, the county had to satisfy its liens on
the property. This was accomplished by paying $3.8 million under the bond
guarantee and forgiving the county’s claim for repayment for $2.6 million
in past bond payments that were made. The total cost was substantially less
than the $14.5 million in future bond payments the county could have been
required to pay. More importantly, the restructuring of
Woodland Place
under new ownership has enabled the home to be put on sound financial
footing under skilled professional management, preserving this caring
residence for the needs of the region while preserving 100 jobs for the
caregivers.
Looking
forward, county commissioners
Brian Beader, Kenneth Ammann and John Lechner will continue for the second
consecutive year to hold one of their regular meetings each quarter in a
community location, increasing the accessibility of those meetings for
county residents. Commissioners have also spearheaded an effort for
multi-year planning to better prepare for the future while restructuring
policies and the workforce to reflect the needs and demands of the 21st
century.

NEARLY
50,000 GET H1N1 VACCINATIONS
Harrisburg -- The Pennsylvania Department of Health vaccinated 49,078
Pennsylvanians at 33 H1N1 flu clinics that were held across the state,
including 1,397 locally at a clinic at the Shenango Valley Mall in Hermitage, on Jan. 8
and 9. The department urges anyone who has not yet been vaccinated to get
immunized.
“It’s
still important for people to get vaccinated even though flu activity is
currently very low,” said Health Secretary Everette James. “It is likely
that we will have a third wave of H1N1 flu, so it is vital for people to
protect themselves and those they love from what can be a deadly disease.”
The
clinics involved more than 1,100 support personnel, including state
employees, contracted nurses, paramedics, and volunteers.
The
department will continue its vaccination efforts at 60 state health centers
every Saturday through February 6, from 9 a.m. to noon. Appointments are not
needed. In addition, staff will be holding immunization clinics on specific
days during the week. For more information and to find a clinic, call
1-877-PA HEALTH.
To
date, 4,736,700 doses of H1N1 vaccine have been allocated to
Pennsylvania
. The department continues to order vaccine on behalf of certified private
providers. For more information about H1N1, visit www.H1N1inPA.com or call
