Most people would feel they were not wanted and would start looking for something else The state legislature has put this burden on Somerset County employes The county commissioners gave the six county employes a 10 per cent raise the legislature said that was too much and gave them 75 per cent increase a loss of 25 per cent As one county source said "There will be screaming today The deleted checks came out Friday But the real snapper is that the legislature cut the 1976 county budget over $30000 dropping any provision for salary increases next year This omission covers the county employes the statutory employes like the county commissioners register of probate and the department This action by the legislature is a reflection on the Somerset County delegation in Augusta It is the lack of understanding of the local scene that is so crushing The county employes presently are getting low wages hardly competitive with state government or private industry By further holding wages down the legislature has assured that less efficient and energetic people will be attracted to the county works and those who are capable will leave At the public hearings and discussion on the county budget no citizen said the county employes were paid too much In fact members of the county legislative delegation stated several times what a responsible conservative budget Somerset County had So what happened? Because county budgets must be approved by the legislature it is apparent that the legislature felt they had to do something to put their mark on the document Before the 106th session began there were great promises that this was the year that county government would either be strengthened or abolished Typically the Augusta tub-thumpers did nothing Their inaction is now resulting in unjustified suffering of people It is no longer a simple debate in political science A tidal wave of crime is washing over the county In the past two weeks a huge number of breaks and general criminal mischief have occurred throughout the county Because people report incidences to the State Police the Department or the municipal forces it is difficult to get a real idea of how much is going on But there are iceberg tips that indicate a huge problem The scary thing is that there does not appear to be any easy solution The public and the police talk about the effects of unemployment the permissiveness of the home the leniency of the courts the lack of law enforcement personnel and the general hypocrisy of legislature Unfortunately it is only theoretical talk No one can prove that any or some or all of these factors effect crime One former deputy was telling us that there are six or seven in the county who specialize in rip-offs It would seem that if surveillance could be put on one or two of these
