Special committees hav' yet to fill order on funding ·solution By PAUL SOUHRADA As•oclllted PrM• WrHer COLUMBUS - When legtslative leaders created two special committees to conduct a bottom-up search for a way out of the state's school-fund· m& mess, Senate Prestdent Richard Finan urged the members to "roll!lp thetr sleeves and get to work." · Well, they can roll their sleeves liack down. With the clock ticking on an Ohio Supreme Court deadlme to come up with a new way of paymg for pubhc schools, leaders in the House and Senale have conceded that the committees have met for the last time. ·Not so much as a bound report or list of recommendations wtll mark the passing of the Joint Subcommittee of Fmance and the Jomt Subcommtt!ee o{ Ways & Means created wtth such fanfare in September. . "Perhaps our expectations were too htgh," House Speaker JoAnn Davidson, R·Reynoldsburg, told reporters last week. Indeed, the 12-member commtt!ees had tall orders to fill in the wake of the collapse of Gov. George Vo.tnovtch's proposal to ratse tbe state -sales tax to pump another $1.1 billion mto education annually. The Fmance commtt!ee was to try to figure out the cost of an adequate eQI.Icauon, while the Ways & Means committee was to evaluate the future role of property levies and otber taxes in funding schools. The adequacy issue and the reliance of schools on property taxes were mctors in the coun's ruling in March that the state's method of paying for public 5\!hools is unconstituuonal. Davtdson acknowledged that members were reluctant to attach a price tag to an adequate education wtthout knowing up front what the effect would be. on the state budget. · Which ts exactly the point of crittcs of the extsUng budgeting process. They argue thilllawmakers gtve educatton whatever state money ts left over after paymg for welfare, bealth programs, umverstUes, pnsons and other programs. Rep Robert Netzley, R-Laura and a member of tbe Ways & Mea11s group, satCI he was never sure what hts commtttee was supposed to do. . · · "'Are we the chtcken or the egg?" Netzley said last week. "Are we sup• posed to come up w1th the cost or are 'they supposed to come up wtth the ~:ost and we're supposed to come up with the money to pay for it? . · · "I never got an answer to that." · · Netzley, one of the most conservative members of the House, blew up at orie committee meeting, deriding tht cathering as a "history lesson" and a ,,waste of time." ' "I don't really think there was any effort made to look at any spectflc propOsal in any depth," he said. House Mmority Leader Ross Boggs, [).Andover, said he wasn't surprised the committees faded away. "I was not in favor of them at the ttme," Boggs satd. Instead, House Democrats took their show on the road, holding 20 reg10nal meeungs to dis· cuss schooltssues with voters across tbe state. Not that those gatherings proved much more fruitful. House Democrats last week released what they dubbed "priorities" for educatton fundmg. The hst, culled from the 20 meetings and crafted during a~wo-day retreat at Deer Creek State Park, mdtcates Democrats are m favor of tough academic standards, fatmess and lower property taxes. What tbe list doesn't say is how to pay for schools · Boggs said that will come later, when lawmakers roll up thetr sleeves and get down to the busmess of negottahons.

BtU Gainer, chief deputy to Weisberg, concedes the space is excessive for their needs. And he's right.,The government rule of thumb for office space ts 135 square feet for each employee, and OSHRC headquarters houses SO employees. Doing the math, that means tax· payers should be shelling out money for about 6,800 square feet of offtce space for the OSHRC's headquarters. At $42 dollars per square foot, as the agency paid for the last five years, that adds up to quite a bite into this agency's small yearly b,udget. Employees tell us the regional offices are jt~st as luxunous. Barhara Ruttberg, a judge fonnerly working out of the Boston office, told us new furniture wu purchlsecl at her old ofti~ u well as new C8l]lCt and refur· bishin1 before the office was closed for lack of funds. The interiors of the Atlanta and Denver offices also recently received an face lift. Weisberg did not disclose the amount spent on new desks, paint, carpeting and various fumishinp, but he defended the purchases nonetheless. In an interview witltour associate Kathryn Wallace, Weisberg said the 13ency only replaced broken office furnishings. But employees we spoke to say the replaced furniture was in perfectly fine condition, In fact, some of the workers took the old stuff to use in their own homes. And these expenditures are being made at a time when the agency is closing the Boston and Dallas offices and laying off at least one judge for lack of funds.

'' By Ed Paterson . Social Security manager In Athens In considering those things you plan to do before the end of the year. you should be sure to include Social Security. Even if you are not now receiving Social Security benefits, there are things you need to do to stay on· top of your coverage. Most of these items can be taken car~ of just by calling Social Security's toll· free number, 1-8(]()..772-1213. If you changed your name this year (through marriage, divorce or any other reason), make sure your new name is listed on your Social Security card and in Social Security's records. If you don't do this, we may have problems posting your earnings to Social Security's files . (This could reduce your future Social Security benefits.)'Aiso, the Internal Revenue Service may ~ave trouble posting your tax return. To change the name with Social Security. you need evidence of your identity and documentation that shows your old name and your new name. If you were born outside the United States, you generally must show proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful ali~n status. Your replace- · men! card will have the same num· ber. as your old card. If you have a child who was born this year and doesn't have a Social Security number, make sure you get one before you file your tax return next year. The law requires you to list the Social Security number on your tax return for each dependent claimed on your 1997 tax return. If you have a child who doesn't have a Social Security number, you should make sure you get one before you file your tax return next year. Remember, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will not process a return without the correct Social S~curity numbers. If you're already getting Social Security benefits and you moved this year, make sure we have your new address. (Sometimes people who have their checks sent directly to their bank furget ·to tell us about a change in their mailing address.) You mu•t notify the post office and Social Security immediately if you change y9ur mailing address. In fact. failure to report a change of address is the leading cause of checks not arriving on time. Your repon should include your claim number, your old address, and the new address, including ZIP code. Give the names of all family momhers who should receive benefits or infonnation at the new address. Also note if you're receiving benefits and worked this year, you don't have to file au earnings report. Under recent law, we now take the earnings infor- · mation from the report you lilc with the Internal Revenue Service. Safety In direct deposit A lot of people have been putting off signi'ng up for direct deposit of their Social Security checks because they like the· certainty of knowing how much is -in their bank account when they depo sit their checks . Well here are some things you should know. With direct deposit, you r check goes into your accounl imme· di~tely. There is no hold on it.

States help with Medicare Cenain low income people may be eligible for help with their Medicare premiums.

" · The database showed violations were clustered at restaurants, grocery stores and supermarkets, hotels and motels. janitoriall!usin~sses and gas stations. The findings are partly a reflection ofthe size ofthose sectors, but government investigators and other labor experts satd they also underscore that abuses are most common in jobs with low wages, high turnover, young employees and a concentration of recent immigrants. : Many other industries also had violations, but the 165,000 cases han.died by the Labor Department during the five-year period involved only a tiny fragment of the overall economy. That's because most employers abide by the law, said John Fraser, acting director of the Labor Department's wage and hour divis1on. "They undertake to ascertain what their responsibilities and comply with ihose ~sponsibilities to the best of their abilities," he said. : With its own resources hmited to 942 mvesttgators, the wage and hour .igency has focused its enforcement efforts on seven industrtes: garment ¢tanufacturing, janitorial services, secunty guard companies, hotels and motels, restaurants. health care employers and farms. Restaurants, fast food places and other eating establishments stood out in the analysis conducted by GNS of mdustries listed by "standard indusmal classification." The industry registered 20,376 violations over five lean - four times inore than any other industry. . , And the•five companies with the most violations over lhat period were Subwt.y Sandwiches and Salads, McDonald's, Burger King, Shoney's and raco Bell. • "That's actually a surpnse to us and, I think, imi'OflaDI to note, it's q~itc unsettlins." observed Jared Nikon, a spokesman for Subway in Mil fGrd, CoM. , : Subway has no control over the problem because alii I ,222 of its U.S. iullets are owned by franchisees, Nixon sa1d. "Since we are not the imployer, then the Labor Department would not be sending any viola.on.nollces to us because we don't run the restauran~." . . .• , Likewise, 84 percent of McDonald's 12,000 locations m the Umted tflle$ are franchises not owned by the corporation. : . Even so, McDonald's spokesman Walt Riker said: "We take these ilaues very seriously and we have strict gutdelines that we send out to all 8ur tr.nchisees about youns people working in our restaurants." : Ribrtook issue wilh the_company's ranking based simply on the voiGme of wage and hour cases. He said it was not a true reflection of the C!"'JJpany's "strong and responsible record." "The statistics are very misleadmg because they include paperwork iuues and don't necessarily reflect the reality of the workplace." are . For example, its yet-to-be-released survey of some of the nation 's 21,000 nursing homes found 30 pen:ent with violations- even though the department issued a press release 1n advance of its inspections. John F[IISer, acting director'ofthe Labor DeJ?artmerii's wase and hour division, said in an interview with GNS that similar surveys of poultry processors and lodging establishments in the Southeast are being tabulated. · The GNS analysis of Labor Department. findings for the five years shows the greatest number of violations occurred at restaurants (20,382 cases), grocery stores and supermarkets (4,662 cases)1 hotels and motels (4,300), buildmg maintenance (4,068) and gasoline service stations (3,488). Violators were concentrated in the fast-food industry: The Subway Sandwiches and Salads chain led the pack with 654 closed cases, followed by McDonald's (525), Burger King (441), Shoney 's (395) and Taco Bell . (322). One reason for the number of restaurant violations is the sheer size of the industry, pointed out Lee Culpepper, vice president of federal relations at the National Restaurant Association in Washington. The industry employs 9.5 million people at 800,000 restaurants and inadvertent mistakes are inevitable, he said, because "turnover in genet'lll in the industry is very high." · Jared Nixon, corporate spokesman for the Subway Sandwiches and Salads chain based in Milford, Conn., said aU 11,222 Subway locations in the United States are owned by franchisees who are responsible for obeying the law. "We arc not in the business of running the bustnesses or managing them," Nixon'!aid. ''What we are in the business of doing, is · selling the franchises." Of the Labor Department cases closed in the past five fiscal years, overtime violations accounted for two-thirds Qf back wages awarded. Another 28.75 percent involved failure to pay the federal minimum wage. On average, each Labor Department case involved eight employees who received a total of $4,166 in back wages, or abol!t $521 each. Fo~:~rteen employers - including the Wisconsin Department of Corrections and Northern Trust Corp. in Chicago- were foilnd to owe workers more than $2 million. The btggest judgment - $7.59 m1llion- was a 1996 case mvolving a suburban South El Monte, Cahf.based garment contractor known as SK Fashions, wh1ch also did business as D&R Fashions and S&P Fashions. ...

The Labor Department has been J IQ"i to focus in random checks on the industnes most ·prone to have unreported violations. The depanment has only 942 investigators -about one for every 6,900 businesses or government workplaces under its jurisdiction and 70 percent of its investigations are based on complaints. John Fraser, actmg director of the Labor Department's wage and hour division, concedes his agency can'i -police all the nation's . workplaces. Instead, its strategy is to increase voluntary compliance, reduce repeated violations by some companies and target seven low-wage industries wilh the most violations. Of those seven industries, garmant makers have received the most public attention, with highly publicized raids of businesses in New York City I and San Francisco this year. · But similar efforts in the six oth- Cu.tomHomes :_ New Homes • VInyl Siding New ~arages .• Replacement WlndoYtia ' ..

By BRIAN TUMULTY Gennett News ~rvlce WASHINGTON -An immigrant baker from Senegal was paid less than the minimum wage by ·a New York City delicatessen chain but declined to complain to the federal Labor Department. Fearing retaliation but still wanting his nghtful wages, the baker went to attorney Maurice Emsellem at the nonprofit National Employment Law Project. Emse)lem said his low-wage clients have many fears, among them being labeled a troublemaker, or being fired, black-listed or deported. And there's the rub. The system is largely set up to handle employee complaints filed with the Labor Department or give a worker the option of filing a civil lawsuit. Many violations - particularly among low-wage and immigrant workers - go unreported. In the Miam1 area, many recent immigrants don 't even know about the Labor Department, said Terri Gerstein, an attorney for the Aorida Immigrant AdYocacy Center. "It's not like they are doing outreach into needy commumties," she said . "What they handle is the tip of the )ISSELL BUILDERS, INC.

David Jenkins of the Meigs County Department of Human Services, who heads a committee of county employees examining lhe counly's self-insurance program, met with the board to discuss possible cost-saving measures for the plan. The plan, which provides insurance to county employees, has bun the subject of examination by the committee due to ongoing financial difficulties that threaten its solvency.

"1 am very proud to represent the 94th District and look forwiiiif 'ttl more jobs and prosperity for our region," the Wellston Republidh · said. The 94th District includes Gallia, Meigs and Jackson counties, and eastern Lawrence County. Carey, who said job creation has been one of the priorities of his tenure in the House, noted that it remains a critical issue as welfare reform measores to get recip.ients off public as.sistancc and inco the workplace take effect. "One of the lhings I've been concemed about is welfare reform, which needs to be done, but I'm also conccmed about job development, because we have to have jobs available for people when lhey get off wclfare," he said. To that end, Carey said he's been pl.eased with !he development of industrial parks in Gallia and Meigs counties since he first look office in 1995.

In several instances, the commissione" have been required to infuse funds from the county's general fund into the claims fund in order to pay claims. The county's actuarian, who examines the plan each year, has recommended increases in employee premiums for die past two years, but no increase has been instituted. This fall, a premium increase of 21 percent was recommended in order to keep the plan sol vent. The phin spent $130,000 for pres~ription drugs last year, for which employees paid $5 for each namebrand prescription and $3 for each generic prescription. Jenkins and the committee has recommended an increase in employee cost lo $15 for brand name and $5 for generic prescriptions. · · ' Those proposed cost increases would serve two purposes, Jenkins said. First, they would supplement the plan's coffers, and second, would encourage employees to purchase generic prescriptions when possible. According to Jenkins' report, 10 employees in the pljl!l, out of 180 participants, purchase 30 percent of the total drugs covered. Commissioner Janet Howard said she would be in favor .of requiring employees.to pay I00 percent of the cost of a name-brand prescription when a generic is available, but Commissioner Fred Hoffman said he was opposed to such a proposal'. Changing the drug premiums for employees would save the plan $6,5()() while allqwing for a 13 percent increase in drug costs, Jenkins said.

Carey has introduced a bill proposing that a school district's wealth be determined more by income than property tax valuation. That bill addresses concerns for the Gallia County Local Schools, which has a high lax value due co the two power plants siced in its dislrict, but also has a significant number of lowincome residents.

While Johnson's proposal is "mostly a vehii:l.e to get discussion going," Carey said, it does propose basing funding partly on the number of scudents in a district covered by Aid to Dependent Children. But with declining numbers of ADC recipients, Carey said he's suggesled a more accurace picture can be gained from students receiving free and reduced lunches.
