Well, spring is here. the hatch and peered into the Mbmy Frigid 2 Hlk'm's Plea hr Mike in Sales lax By MICHAEL HANRAHAN There was strong opposition amongst Albany lawmakers yesterday to Suffolk Executive John Klein's request for a 1 hike in the sales tax. Some observers commented that the opposition to the Suffolk County proposal also may be the final undoing for a similar request by Nassau County. Assemblyman Robert Werts (R-Commack), usually a political ally of Klein, said he does not intent to vote in favor of authorizing the sales tax. "The message is very loud and dear that the people do not want any more taxation," said Wertz.

The lawmaker said that In a recent questionnaire to his constituents, 86 replied that they would prefer a reduction in services rather than increased taxes. Eighty-three percent said that they believe taxes were driving jobs and businesses out of the state. Assemblyman Paul Rarenberg (D-Sayville). who joined in a statement by tie Democratic caucus condemning Ifclcia's fiscal joanageinent was dents are to be spared a tax increase, bo too should Nassau residents. Klein is hoping to meet tomorrow morning with several assemblymen in an attempt to "sell his request." In addition to the opposition by Wertz, Assemblyman John Flanagan (R-Huntington) and State Sen.

Bernard Smith (R-Northport) are reported to be against the increase. Assemblyman William Bianchi (D-Bellport), George Hochbreuckner CD-Co ram) and Luis Yevoli (D-Oyster Bay) criticized Klein's attempt to lend $200 million in South West Sewer District funds last year to New York City. "Klein has consistently deceived the pablic as to the fiscal condition of the county. This is the same man who just a few short months ago so heroically offered to snatch New York City from the brink of default with a $200 million loan from South West Sewer District Funds," said the statement. Among other local lawmakers opposing the sales tax increase are Republicans John Wehrenberg (Holbrook), William Carney (Smithtown) Joseph Caputo (Ialip Terrace) and Democrats reported to be "unalterably opposed" to the sales tax increase.

The basic difference between the Suffolk request and that of Nassau is that the governing body in Nassau has backed the request of County Executive Ralph Caso for a one-cent sales tax hike to offset an anticipated $25 million budget deficit. In Suffolk, Klein. requested a similar hike to offset rising interest costs for bonding in the South West Sewer District. He estimated that the district would be short approximately $19 million annually on notes for construction of the huge $540 million sewer district covering 50,000 homes in Babylon and I slip townships. However, Klein has not gathered any local support for the proposed Suffolk Lax.

If the members of the Suffolk County Legislature fails to support Klein's request, it is highly unlikely that the AJbany lawmakers will vote a tax during an election year. follow ha jt Suffolk, resi John Donahue (West Hampton) and Martin Feldman (Dix Hills). Several other local county legislators said they will wait for Klein to prove figures submitted to them in which he contended that unless the sales tax hike is approved, the county property tax would double. Robert Mrazek (D-Centerport) said yesterday that he believes the sewer district has been improperly designed and consequently inadequately funded since it began in 1969. Mrazek, chairman of the Legislature's Finance Committee, yesterday sent a letter to Bowe, Walsh and Associates, the chief engineers for the project, asking them to produce engineering reports, plottings, contract drawings and records of real estate acquisitions for the project at a special meeting to be held at 11 a-m.

tomorrow. He warned that if the company did not comply, the records would be sub-penaed. Mrazek said be believes the project could be redesigned and completed at a substantial savings which would maka sales tax increase unnecessary..
