The Erie County Fiscal Stability Authority unanimously voted on Monday to reject Erie County Executive Joel Giambra’s revised fiscal plan for a second time.

The county now has until Oct. 15, the time at which the 2007 budget is also due, to submit a 4-year-plan that meets with the control board’s satisfaction. The control board will review the budget and 4-year-plan on Oct. 18. Both the budget and 4-year plan must meet with the control board’s approval to pass.

“I don’t want Erie County to have to be under a hard control board,” Anthony Baynes, control board chairman, said at the meeting. “I do not want the practices and conditions that necessitated the state’s creation of this panel in 2005 to continue to exist.”

Baynes called the $9.4 million budget surplus from last year, which resulted from refinanced tobacco settlements, a “costly way of generating short-term revenues.”

He was equally critical of the proposed Erie County STAR Program, which would raise school taxes while getting larger reimbursements through New York state.

“Instead of looking to save taxpayers money, the county administration has submitted to us a scheme to shift tax revenues of various local governments to the benefit of the county,” he said. “Not only is there no benefit to the taxpayer, there may be increased burden on taxpayer categories,” he said.

The Erie County Legislature met on Monday to decide whether they endorsed the plan, but could not come to a decision, said Erie County Legislator Demone Smith, D-Buffalo, at the meeting.

“There was no decision as a legislature to approve or disapprove,” he said. “There are a number of questions out there.”
