4B Press Sun-Bulletin Tuesday, December 4, 1990 Lawmakers hold special budget session hew york briefs NYC surpasses 2,000 murders in 11 months NEW YORK More than 2,000 people were murdered in the city during the past eleven months, making 1990 the city's most bloody year yet, and earning New York the dubious distinction of having the highest number of murder victims in the nation, a police official said Monday. The city's homicide rate continued to increase as six people were murdered from Sunday night to early Monday morning, police said. "Obviously, 2,000 is a high number," said Deputy Inspector Thomas V. Connolly of the department's Office of Management Analysis Planning, which tracks crime statistics. "One is a high number if it involves you or your family." The record murder rate was partially attributed to the proliferation of handguns and a rising tendency towards violence, Connolly said.

ing with the administration on furloughs, union officials said. Cuomo has proposed cutting the work force by 18,000 in the next 16 months. Up to 10,000 of those job cuts would be through worker firings and the rest through early retirement and attrition. Cuomo aides say that without furloughs, as many as 40,000 jobs could be eliminated. Considerably less than that would be actual firings.

But McDermott said he believed New York's fiscal situation was worse than Cuomo was letting on and that the governor would seek more layoffs or furloughs in next year's budget. In an attempt to lighten the load on local governments, the governor on Monday proposed scaling back the spending that counties, towns, cities and villages would have to do at the state's behest. State Comptroller Edward Regan has predicted a potential $3 billion deficit for the new fiscal year. to convince the state Legislature to stay away from the furlough issue. The Legislature has the power to impose a contract or change a contract's terms when negotiations between the governor's office and the unions fail.

While McDermott said he would go to court to block any legislative action on furloughs, a top aide to state Senate Republican Majority Leader Ralph Marino indicated legal action wouldn't be necessary. "We never said we were going to butt in," said Marino spokesman John McArdle. "This is a management-labor issue and management and labor have to work it out." Cuomo spokeswoman Anne Crowley said the administration was still willing to negotiate with the unions but that the Legislature would be asked to approve the furloughs. The No. 2 state workers union, the Public Employees Federation, and the union representing state university professors and staff are still negotiat ALBANY (AP) The state Legislature began a special session Monday on Gov.

Mario M. Cuomo's plan to close a projected billion budget deficit. Almost as soon as they arrived, legislators labeled some of Cuomo's proposed spending cuts as cold-hearted but said many would have to be done to balance the budget. One proposal likely to be changed was Cuomo's plan to cut the state's $9 billion school aid package by $200 million. Democrat Cuomo has proposed taking a disproportionate percentage of the money from wealthy school districts to protect schools in poorer areas.

Wealthy school districts are generally represented by Republicans who control the state Senate. But Cuomo's proposal has rankled Democrats and Republicans, who say it might be fairer to impose an across-the'rboard percentage cut on each of New York's 700 school districts. ''I think it's going to be modified somewhat," Assembly Ways and Means Chairman Saul Weprin, a Queens Democrat, said of Cuomo's school aid plan. "There will be some members who will have problems any way we do it, but we're trying to arrive at the most equitable way we can." Nonetheless, legislative leaders said the school aid cuts would still amount to about $200 million. The leader of the state's largest public employee union also declared that talks with Cuomo over his plan to force state workers to take time off without pay had collapsed.

Cuomo said his proposal that workers take five days off before March 31, unprecedented on the state level, would save $135 million this year. "I see it as a lockout of employees," said Joseph McDermott, president of the Civil Service Employees Association. "Discussions regarding options on furloughs will not continue."

Edward A. Wolfson was more than the founder of the Clinical Campus at Binghamton of the SUNY Health Science Center at Syracuse, sard his colleagues. He was its mainstay, its unflagging support during good times and bad. Dr. Wolfson, 64, of 52 Larchmont Binghamton, died Sunday of a possible heart attack at home, said his wife, Barbara.

"He was the soul of the Clinical Campus," said Dr. Gene Wyso, director of medical education at United Health Services and assistant dean for undergraduate and graduate education at the campus. Wyso interviewed Wolfson 15 years ago for the deanship of the Clinical Campus, then a project of UHS, the State University of New York Health Science Center and the state University Center at Binghamton. "All the candidates had impeccable medical credentials. But he seemed to have qualities we thought very appealing," Wyso said.

"He was very personable, gregarious, enchanting in the way he dealt with you." Wyso added: "We thought it would take that kind of person, to get the Public sees budget plan Ohrenstein re-elected as Democratic leader ALBANY State Senate Minority Leader Manfred Ohrenstein, who faces criminal charges of hiring no-show employees, turned back a challenge Monday to his legislative leadership position as he was re-elected to another two-year term as leader of the Senate Democrats after Sen. Martin Connor of Brooklyn withdrew from the race. A Manhattan Democrat, Ohrenstein has served in the Senate since 1961 and as its minority leader since 1975. Connor did allow his name to be put in nomination during a closed-door meeting of the 26 Democratic senators and senators-elect Monday, but withdrew it later. Connor said he quit the contest because "I was short a vote or two" and didn't want to make his supporters tip their hands in a losing cause."

SUNY central administration in Albany has developed a four-pronged strategy to cut $61 million from the system's 1990-91 budget, DeFleur said. The prongs are: unpaid furloughs of! workers; a $150 tuition increase next semester to $825 from $675; cuts in SUNY central administration; and cuts in the budgets of the 29-state operated campuses, including SUNY-Binghamton.

The four prongs would each account for more than $15.22 million of the needed $6 1 million. The cuts at the 29 campuses will cover 25 percent of the $61 million, DeFleur said. She did not give a specific figure for SUNY-Binghamton. SUNY-Binghamton, to save money, is planning to eliminate 32 classes next semester, about 1.5 percent of the 2,600 class sections normally offered, said Peter E.
