Disclosure Rule Perils School Panel Aides in City By Neill Rosenfeld Brooklyn The New York City Board of Education voted last night to seek the removal of 126 community school board members almost half the local board members in the city for failing to file financial disclosure forms "The legal papers to be filed today with State Education Commissioner Gordon Ambach seeks the immediate removal of some or all members of 28 of the 32 community school said -Board President James Regan "Despite state law a central board resolution the regulations two court decisions and several delays granted by the central board almost half of the members of the community school boards have not filed financial disclosure he said "These members should be removed from Schools Chancellor Nathan Quinones added "We want to heighten the confidence of the public at large relating to public education in this city and to make sure there is lessened to the fullest degree possible the possibility of corruption and conflict of The nine community school board members in each district are elected to three-year terms The required forms ask for statements of wages fees indebtedness real property holdings and other financial information for local board members and their spouses Ambach is being asked to remove the entire school boards of District 1 in Manhattan and 29 in Queens eight members in Districts 3 in Manhattan and 26 in Queens and seven in Districts 14 and 18 in Brooklyn and 28 in Queens Quinones would name trustees to replace them until the next elections in May The trustees staff

Filing two forms increases chances for a security breach he said He said the fact that the board released the names of those who filed the forms "indicates they hold anything Quinones said those names were public information "I believe this has anything to do with Kaplan said "The fact that we already file additional conflict-of-interest forms gives them a sworn document saying that I have no

Rockland Utilities executive Linda Winikow from the state payroll after news organizations raised questions about her dual employment "Frankly it worth the said Sen Howard Babbush (D-Brooklyn) who fired Winikow last month from a part-time job paying $35 biweekly She was supposed to produce a newsletter on issues for his district but Babbush said she never completed the work A recent series of articles in Newsday examining the growth of the Legislature reported that Winikow a former Rockland County legislator who gave up her Senate seat last year to become a vice president for the utility had continued to earn state pension credits by remaining on the Senate payroll Babbush said he dropped Winikow after inquiries by Newsday and the Gannett News Service but that he did so before either series of articles appeared telephony caDsrdaA" tztltcr i'iZ'ivTHi i The day after she left the Senate Winikow a Democrat was hired by Senate Minority Leader Manfred Ohrenstein D-Manhattan i as a special assistant at a salary of $19231 a week said spokesman Timothy Taylor Taylor said she was supposed to complete the work of a special task force on rights which she chaired as a senator He said

conflict of interest Babbush said Winikow dealt only with issues and that the utility did not provide service in his district Taylor defended the hiring "partly because the subject matter has nothing to do with regulating ultilities and partly because there are a host of people who work for the Legislature and maintain other professions' MichaelArena -i i i i i r- I 4 i i if I i a t- sf- -I ft I
