Mayor Thompson hits City highlights of 2012 and challenges for 2013 in Rotary speech

City Mayor Linda D. Thompson received two standing ovations while delivering New Year remarks at the January 2013 Rotary Club of Harrisburg Luncheon Monday in the downtown Harrisburg Hilton Hotel.

After congratulating the Rotary 102 years of historic public service to the City of Harrisburg, the Mayor focused on the city’s accomplishments in 2012 and the top challenges she sees facing city government in 2013.

The Mayor said the main challenges last year were getting the Act 47 financial recovery plan agreed to and in place, as well persuading the public and some elected officials that municipal bankruptcy was a failed strategy for the city’s financial recovery.

Thompson pointed to the appointment of Gen. William B. Lynch as city receiver and the good working relationship that developed last year between teh administration and City Council as year end highlights.

The Mayor told the audience the City is working very closely and cooperatively on the financial recovery process. She also noted they have tried to make it clear that bankruptcy is not and never was an option of choice for the city.

The Mayor was optimistic about the coming year and anticipates significant progress in both eliminating the incinerator-related debt and reducing the long standing city structural deficit.  “We agree with the office of the receiver that we can reasonably anticipate the satisfactory completion of these asset transactions by the third quarter of 2013,” Mayor Thompson said.  “We anticipate entering 2014 with the incinerator debt eliminated from the city books and we expect pilots, and a variety of fee increases, shared revenues, and negotiated cost reductions to increase city revenues and help balance the city’s structural deficit.”

The Mayor said that Harrisburg is a resilient city, filled with a sense of history and a strong and resourceful citizenry, as well as a vibrant and community-oriented business population.

Survey says two local cities among the most dangerous in the country

York and Harrisburg have been ranked among the top 30 most dangerous cities in the nation. But law enforcement officials and criminal justice researchers say the ranking don't tell the real story.

Neighborhoodscout.com lists York as the 18th most dangerous and Harrisburg the 30th. The rankings are based on the number of violent crimes per thousand residents reported to the FBI in 2011.

“To actually characterize it an extremely dangerous city versus another, I don't know if it should be used in that nature,” commented Patrick Hughes, Assistant Dean at Central Penn College.

Violent crimes include murder, rape, armed robbery and aggravated assault. Crunching the numbers from the FBI uniformed crime report; you have a 1-to-70 chance of being a victim of violent crime in Harrisburg. Also, there is a 1-in-19 chance of falling victim to a property crime such as burglary, theft and arson in the Capital City.

Hughes is a former police officer on the East Shore and Criminal Justice Instructor at Central Penn. He said he wouldn't base any important decisions on rankings such as this one.

“You can skew data in different directions, especially descriptive data,” Hughes explained. “More in-depth research that looks at the significance between variables such a recidivism versus homeless, these are a little more in depth."

Chester was the 19th most dangerous, Philadelphia, 50th and Norristown, 68th.

However, Harrisburg officials looked at the latest rankings this way: Harrisburg is getting safer as last year it was the 20th most dangerous city.

UPDATE: Lancaster City Police investigating homicide

UPDATE:

Late Monday morning, Lancaster City Police discovered a body and initial findings seemed suspicious enough for officers to call for a homicide investigation.

The incident occurred on the 200 block of West Walnut Street,

A "check on the welfare" call prompted Lancaster City Police to the scene before 11 a.m. Monday morning, and that's when they discovered a decomposed body.

Neighbors tell us the body is likely of an older male, possibly in his sixties.

But it's the manner in which the body was found that has roped off this seemingly quiet block into a homicide investigation. An autopsy will soon be conducted to determine the cause of death.

Police have not yet released an identity of the victim and tell us the investigation will likely continue into the evening hours.

From neighbors we spoke to, suspicious is really the perfect way to describe this death. If the victim is the person who lived in the apartment, an older male, he was rarely seen outside.

The entire scene is less than a mile from the police station.
___________________________________________

Lancaster City Police are investigating a homicide.

Officers were called to an apartment building Monday morning, on the south side of the 200 block of West Walnut Street for a "check on welfare".  When the officers arrived, they found an adult male dead in the apartment.

According to the Lancaster County Deputy Coroner, the male had been dead for a period of time, and based on the inital investigation the death is considered suspicious and is being investigated as a homicide.

The name of the victim has not been released.  An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death.

Police are still investigating, and anyone with information is urged to call Lancaster City Police at 717-735-3300 or Lancaster County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-322-1913.

VP Biden to represent President's task force in meeting with NRA Thursday

Information provided by CBS News:

Vice President Joe Biden will meet Thursday with the National Rifle Association, "one of many" gun rights groups he will meet with as part of the White House's gun task force to reduce gun violence.

"We look forward to hearing from a variety of organizations," White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday.

"We are sending a representative to hear what they have to say," Andrew Arulanandam, NRA spokesperson, told CBS News.

The NRA and the Obama administration have been at odds on its response to the latest mass shooting, which occurred in Newtown, Conn., last month. The powerful gun lobby proposed placing armed guards in schools, a proposal the president said he is "skeptical" about.

White House gun task force forging ahead
Gabrielle Giffords meets with Conn. families

In addition to his meeting with the NRA, the vice president is meeting with gun safety advocates, victims' groups and entertainment and video game industry officials. Cabinet secretaries are also holding meetings with parents, educators and mental health experts.

The president created the task force shortly after the mass shootings in Newtown, Conn., last month. He appointed Biden as the head of the task force and asked for recommendations by the end of January.

President Obama has indicated that he wants Congress to reestablish the ban on assault weapons, which expired in 2004, and limit the size of magazines and expand background checks, including closing the gun show loophole, which allows unlicensed sellers to sidestep checks.The task force is also expected to look at broader efforts that might include a national database and proposals that can be implemented without congressional approval.

Biden has also been conferring with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who is a vocal advocate for gun regulation. His group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, launched a TV ad Tuesday to pressure lawmakers to "stand up to the gun lobby."

Roxanne Green, whose daughter was killed in the 2011 Tucson, Ariz., shooting that injured former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., is highlighted in the ad. "I have one question for political leaders, when will you find the courage to stand up to the gun lobby? Whose child has to die next?" Green says.

The timing of the ad is intentional, not only to keep the pressure on lawmakers to act in the aftermath of the Newtown massacre, but because it is also debuting on the second anniversary of the Tucson shooting.

Also Tuesday, Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, launched a new organization, Americans for Responsible Solutions, in favor of gun restrictions that intends to "[match] gun lobbyists in their reach and resources," the couple wrote in a USA Today op-ed.

When gun safety advocates refer to the gun lobby, there are numerous organizations that promote less gun regulation, but the most powerful is the National Rifle Association, which has spent nearly $10 million since President Obama's inauguration on lobbying activity, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. That number doesn't include the more than $30 million the NRA's political action committee and the organization's affiliated political nonprofits spent to influence the 2012 presidential and congressional elections.

The NRA has proposed placing armed guards in schools to clamp down on shootings. It's a proposal the president has rejected.

Despite efforts to maintain momentum on the gun issue, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said over the weekend that Congress must prioritize its early March deadlines around spending cuts and the debt ceiling. "Clearly we will not be addressing that issue early, because spending and debt are going to dominate the first three months," McConnell said Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation."

The Pennsylvania Insurance Department collected a record of nearly $18 million in fines and $13.4 million in restitution in 2012.

The collections were from enforcement and market conduct actions, as well as 10 multi-state examinations where Pennsylvania was a lead state along with other state insurance departments.

Highlights from 2012 enforcement and market conduct actions include:



  •         American International Group, Inc. (AIG) – A multi-state examination of AIG and its workers’ compensation affiliates resulted in the largest-ever single amount in fines and assessments in the department’s history. The penalty, $16.8 million, included $8.6 million in fines, $3.6 million to the Workers’ Compensation Security Fund and $4.6 million in premium taxes.
  •         Life Insurance Industry – Five of the multi-state examinations focused on life insurance companies and their claims business practices. As a result, these companies have agreed to adopt additional pro-consumer claims practices that include using the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File on a uniform basis when processing and paying life insurance claims.
  •         Consumer Protection – The department’s Office of Market Regulation concluded the year with responding to more than 13,000 written consumer complaints and revoking or suspending the insurance licenses of nearly 70 individual licensees.

Lottery union says their plan could bring in $1.5 billion more for seniors

January 8, 2013, 4:11 pm

Information provided by AFSCME:

Pennsylvania workers could generate at least $1.5 billion more in profits for seniors than the private operator currently negotiating with the Corbett administration to take over the system, according to a proposal released today by AFSCME Council 13.

AFSCME submitted a counter proposal to the administration today that provides a more realistic and stable path forward for the lottery, already one of the most successful in the nation.  The report also highlights serious concerns about the Corbett administration’s process in pursuing a private manager for the Lottery, which is attempting to bypass the legislature and has yielded only one bidder, United Kingdom based Camelot Global Services PA LLC.

AFSCME’s proposal includes dozens of specific changes to the lottery that would expand sales and net revenue; institute more controls and oversight of the Lottery Fund; and ensure greater transparency and accountability to all Pennsylvanians.

“If public employees have the opportunity to operate the lottery under the same expansion that the administration wants to provide Camelot, we would beat Camelot's guaranteed profits by at least 10 percent to 30 percent without giving away hundreds of millions in revenue to Camelot at the expense of our seniors,” said Dave Fillman, Executive Director of AFSCME Council 13.

The Private Management Agreement (PMA) threatens the jobs of 258 Pennsylvanians, including 174 AFSCME members.

AFSCME’s analysis shows that the Annual Profit Commitments (APC) Camelot has proposed are based on an understanding that lawmakers will reduce the guaranteed minimum payment for senior programs by 10 percent starting in 2015.

Current state law mandates that the lottery invest at least 27 percent of the Lottery Fund in senior programs annually. Under state law, that minimum returns to its standard level of 30 percent on July 1, 2015 after the recession caused the legislature to grant a temporary relief to the fund in 2010.

But Camelot is betting that lawmakers will change current law and maintain the 27 percent floor for the next 20 years, through 2033. This change alone would amount to a $1.244 billion loss to seniors if the same sales revenues were to be achieved without the profit taking of a private manager. Factor in the private manager’s profit taking for exceeding their APC’s and Camelot's expenses, and the loss to seniors could top $1.5 billion over 30 years.

In addition, AFSCME analysis shows that the Camelot plan would not provide adequate protections against a shortfall in lottery profits.  Camelot’s $200 million security, designed to make up any shortfall in profits, comes
attached with so many exclusions, exceptions, caps and limitations that both the profit guarantee and predictable funding the Commonwealth seeks in this PMA do not actually exist,” the report says.

The PMA stipulates that the cash withdrawal to cover any profit shortfall cannot be greater than 5 percent of that year’s profits. This cap is rarely, if ever mentioned in public by Camelot or the Corbett administration.

Although the Corbett administration asserts the security would include $200 million, the cap prevents the Commonwealth from ever realizing the full amount of that security even if Camelot's profits were more than $200 million short.

A five percent shortfall of profits by Camelot in the first year means the state would lose out on $2.8 million of the so called guaranteed “profits” because of this cap and a shortfall of just five percent in the 5th year of the agreement would result in a $4 million shortfall.

A 10 percent shortfall of the “guarantee” in year one would leave the state $62 million short of the guarantee. A shortfall of 10 percent in the 5th year would result in an $87.3 million loss for the state that the Lottery Fund or tax payers could be forced to make up.

AFSCME’s proposal also raises serious questions regarding the administration’s secretive negotiations with the lone bidder for the lottery United Kingdom based Camelot Global Services PA LLC.

The winners in this deal are Camelot and a handful of consultants, AFSCME’s analysis shows. Greenhill & Company, DLA Piper, and Kroll Advisory Systems are guaranteed at least $600,000 for their time spent on these matters.

“So far, the only folks providing input to the administration are the consultants who stand to make hundreds of millions in fees,” Fillman added. “The bottom line is that Camelot has the opportunity to make annual profits in a single year greater than all the salaries, incentives, benefits the Commonwealth currently pays the workforce operating one of the best performing state lotteries in the nation.”

Fillman said that AFSCME looks forward to testifying before members of the Senate Finance Committee on Jan. 14th. “Senator Brubaker and his colleagues deserve praise for calling for a public hearing on this deal,” Fillman said. “It’s incredible that the administration tried to push this through without providing the public or the legislature with an opportunity to ask questions or provide input about this deal.”

AFSCME Council 13 represents more than 65,000 employees in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. For more information, visit www.afscme13.org.

The South Middleton Education Association will be requesting fact finding through the PA Labor relations board (PLRB) during a meeting on January 15.

If fact finding is awarded, it's a 40-day process from beginning to end. The PLRB appoints a neutral third party to listen to presentations by both sides.  Once the presentations have concluded, the fact finder makes recommendations for resolution. Once the recommendations are received, the parties have a chance to accept or reject them.

THE SMEA and the School Board started negotiations on December 22, 2011. 

A tentative agreement set in September 2012, was rejected.

At the last negotiation session on December 19, the parties could not reach an agreement and were unable to resolve their differences.

The issues remaining are salary, employee contributions towards health care, employees' continuing ability to retain spouses on health insurance.

Harrisburg City Council weighs in on Mayor's debt plan

On Monday, Harrisburg Mayor Linda Thompson announced that she expected the city to enter 2014 free of the City's  incinerator debt of $340 million dollars.

That is a tall order for the Capitol City, but some members of the City Council believe it may happen.

"The debt of the incinerator, it could if everything is working the way it should that is what I am hoping for," said Kelly Summerford, a City Council Member.

"The plan that we have put together now is the best that we have seen, if this doesn't work, nothing is going to work," said Brad Koplinski another City Council Member.

City Council Member Sandra Reid says she's optimistic.  "As far as us being debt free, that is a little optimistic, I'm not certain the numbers I'm looking at doesn't really project us to be debt free within 12 months, I don't see where those numbers are coming from."

Even if the curse of the $340 million incinerator debt is lifted from the city, Harrisburg will be far from debt free.

"Our total debt is roughly over $600 million dollars," said City Controller Dan Miller.  "To think that we will start 2014 with no debt, is a statement that has no credibility in fact."

But many are wondering, where did the other debt of $260 million come from?  "The other debt is debt that we've actually borrowed and used for our roads for different projects.  That debt up until last year was being paid off."

Council members stressed that they have taken positive steps to get the debt under control. If you haven't yet you'll soon feel in your paycheck with the doubling of the Earned Income Tax.

The Council is worried about more problems like the sinkholes on N. 4th St. and how they could sink the budget.

To give you some perspective of how big the incinerator debt is, if you live in Harrisburg, your share of that debt is over $6,500.

The City Controller still believes that bankruptcy is still the city's best option to get back to a stable financial condition.

Mom gives her son cell phone contract, local parents don't like the idea

There’s a cell-phone contract that’s getting a lot of attention. The contract, however, isn’t from a company to a customer; it’s from a Massachusetts mother to her son.

CBS 21 asked people how they feel about this form of parenting.
It helps the mother, Janell Hoffman, is a blogger. She posted the contract that her 13-year-old son had to sign to get his Christmas present, a new iPhone.

Times have changed from when many of us first got cell phones, and Hoffman took a fresh approach to restricting what her son does on his phone.

Hoffman’s contract aims to put out all the fires of improper cell phone usage before they even start. They include a limit on use, no looking up porn, no sexting and always answer when mom or dad calls.

Tawana Poteat allows her 14-year-old son to have a cell phone. But like most parents, didn’t write up a contract for him.

“It’s between me and my son, so no I wouldn’t put it up there for the world to see, it would be humiliating to him,” Poteat told us.

We heard the word ‘trust’ often while interviewing for this story. Parents trusting their kids to not use their cell phone improperly.
“Once you lose that trust from a mother or a parent it’s hard to get it back,” said Cameron Poteat.

One teen told us the only rule his mother gave him is to “pick up when she calls.”

That was one of the ones on the contract, but the idea of a written agreement, didn’t sit well with most people.

“It’s up to you to sign it, I wouldn’t sign it,” one teen said.
We asked a dad, and he’s also not for the contract idea.

“Sign a contract?” questioned Eddie Delgado. “I’d never give my kids a contract.”

Eddie Delgado says an open relationship about his kids “not using their phones to send or look at porn” or to “never” ignore his calls has worked for him.

We asked Delgado, what if the kids give you a reason not to trust them? He replied, “Then that’s when we need to sit down and talk.”
