A-20 PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1996 THE REGION Drivers face painful bridgework City's 1997 deficit forecast: $20 million "It really is a good alternate when there's no traffic. Rita Maloney, traffic reporter BUDGET FROM PAGE A-l 5 "So far, I dont think they've handled it very well," O'Connor toil "Their last two proposals fell short of getting things in line." But Murphy defended his track irecord. in said he had cut the city work by 20 percent through layoffs, (retirements and attrition since tak-Jngoffice and had made real reduc-utions in spending. The $321 million budget is $9 million lower than last years. He said he planned to cut another $20 million next year through savings in workers' compensation, health care and pension payments.

Murphy has also put together a task force to look for savings in improved services, consolidation or privatization. "We have been moving in the right direction. The numbers show that for the last two years," Murphy said, citing $500 million in new construction under way and reduction of an earlier deficit But O'Connor said he was skepti- Circle to manage the traffic, but it could still get ugly. Skrinjar has his own strategy for avoiding the traffic: "I avoid the area. I play baseball and basketball with my They'll get a lot of practice the next few weeks.

Here is PennDOT's schedule April 26-28: Work on ramp from the Parkway East to the Fort Pitt Bridge. 1 May 3-5: No work because bf the marathon. May 10-12: Work on ramp from Parkway East to bridge. May 17-19: Work on ramp from bridge to Parkway East. May 24-27: No work because, of Memorial Day.

May 31-June 2: Work on ramp from bridge to Parkway East. June 7-9: Work on ramp from Fort Duquesne Bridge to Parkway East TUNNEL FROM PAGE A-l 5 "Obviously, there are a number of different ways to go," Skrinjar said. PennDOT is restricted to using only state roads for its detours, which sometimes can lead drivers on circuitous journeys. A few years Dack, Skrinjar said, a detour from a bridge construction site on Route 50 in Bridgeville led motorists on a 17-mile journey, to Interstate 79 and back. Most people just turned right left and right again back on to Route 50, he said.

"Common sense always prevails," he said. Common sense is on PennDOT's side this weekend, as its detour is the easiest fastest route. "It's probably the route people used before the Fort Pitt Tunnel was open," Skrinjar said. Rita Maloney, who broadcasts traffic reports on KDKA radio and television, agreed that PennDOT's detour made the most sense. "It really is a good alternate when there's no traffic," she said.

Last weekend, Pirates fans caused a lot of traffic; tonight the Penguins play at the Civic Arena. Five police officers are expected to be stationed at the West End cal of Murphy's efforts to generate more tax revenue through new development. "It's growing, but Where's the beef? Where's the tax money? So far it hasnt affected the bottom line," he said. O'Connor said he called for quarterly meetings on the budget to nold Murphy to the $31 million spending cuts and revenue initiatives he proposed this year to trim the deficit and to balance the spending plan. Some of the initiatives already appear to be in jeopardy.

Administration officials said attempts to cut $2.5 million from the Fire Bureau might end up in arbitration. Because of a downturn in the market the city has yet to receive any money from a recycler who promised it $600,000 this year, though Cox said the city was guaranteed half of the sum through a performance bond. The city also lost $630,000 from St Francis Medical Center, which has ended its agreement for payments in lieu of services. The administration budgeted another $2.1 million in payments this year on top of the $3.5 million the city got in 1995. Council President Jim Ferlo has pushed for a increase in the wage tax to curb the deficit Without it he said, the city will have to consider cutting police jobs, charging residents a fee for trash collection in addition to what is paid through their taxes, and other "distasteful" measures.

"I think the fact of the matter is, we do have a crisis. We have a $40 million structural problem," he said. "It's not necessarily insurmountable, but I consider it a fairly fundamental issue facing the city. Acting mental health chief fired Onetime cronies in primary dogfight do MENTAL FROM PAGE A-1 5 i. i support of increased institutionalized care for the mentally -disabled and his outspoken manner caused much of the ruckus.

fTorisky blamed his departure on (Unidentified MHMR contract holders who feared that he would not ireoew their contracts and who he said' persuaded the two commissioners to remove him. brTnaFs what this is all about," Torisky said yesterday before he was informed he was being removed from his post 'They want the status quo and fear me because tf ami changing that I don't believe anydne knows the system better ithaiH do." o.JJawida never wanted Torisky appointed to the post Cranmer did at first but withdrew his support last month. Torisky was a rare issue on which Dunn and Cranmer did not agree publicly. "I personally like Dan Torisky. but he should not have been named acting director," Dawida said.

Torisks temporary replacement is not likely to attract many passionate displays. A former CYS caseworker, Gigliotti for the past three years has been the deputy director of the MHMR drug and alcohol division. From 1993 to 1995, he was an MHMR associate director. From 1984 to 1993, he was either a monitor or supervisor in the MHMR contract monitoring division. Casey while he was auditor general.

'And Frank Lynch's mother. Dee Lynch, was Casey's receptionist for eight years. Casey's ad blasts Foley for his ties to the Democrat State Committee, saying: "The auditor general. Watchdog of the state treasury. But the Harrisburg politicians want a lap dog instead.

They've hand-picked Tom Foley." The ad, which the Foley campaign has called libelous, also focuses on a company called EmpCare Inc, which Foley founded after he lost the lieutenant governor's race PRIMARY FROM PAGE A-1 5 Casey has said he would consider hiring an outside contractor to audit any books that could present such a conflict "Bobby is saddled with a monstrous ethical dilemma," said Frank Lynch, Foley's chief spokesman. Lynch worked for the Casey administration in 1987-95, including stints in Casey's press office and as a top aide to Foley. His father, Jack Lynch, worked on four of the elder Casey's campaigns and worked as a deputy for in 1994. The company helps small businesses establish self-insurance pools for workers' compensation: In the ad, the Caseys take Foley to task for trading on his government contacts for personal Lynch said Foley's company did not do any business with state government J3 "As for selling influence, how can a man who spent eight months beating Tom Ridge's brains in have any access or influence on state government" Lynch said.
