New York Sun Type Size: A A The Upstate-Downstate Debate by Kevin Strouse and Mark Berkey-Gerard December 4, 2000 Every year since 1913, the town of Boiceville, New York has held a ceremony to recognize the families who were forced off their land to make way for a reservoir for New York City. Boiceville was not the only upstate town that was displaced for the sake of the city's drinking water. Hundreds of homes, churches, schools and graveyards still rest at the bottom of man-made lakes and reservoirs.

Return Home Why the President Should Ignore Calls to Reduce the Number of Political Appointees by Robert Maranto, Ph.D. Backgrounder #1413 Executive Summary Like all who have served before him, President George W. Bush will seek to put his stamp on the sprawling executive branch establishment, which today includes 14 Cabinet departments, more than 60 independent agencies, and over 1.7 million federal civil service employees. But the President faces intense pressure from critics of the appointment process, including the public administration academic community, who assert that he should reduce the number of appointees. It is commonplace for such critics to argue that political appointees are, at best, taking up space and getting in each others' way and, at worst, interfering with the expert workings of the finely honed career civil service. In particular, critics in the public administration community contend that political appointments have grown in number for questionable reasons; that political appointees are less expert than career executives, in part because they are selected for reasons other than competence; and that other democracies succeed with far fewer appointees. President Bush should ignore these assertions, which rest on misconceptions about how the American political appointment system works and how the career civil service personnel system operates. Like most other misconceptions, these are based on limited data and are sorely in need of historical context and empirical verification.

93. Medical Library Association: History Of MLA Quoting George Washington Plunkitt, a Tammany Hall boss, Oppenheimer finishes his interview with Anyway, that s about all the advice I can give you See http://www.mlanet.org/about/history/g_oppenheimer.html

History of MLA GERALD J. OPPENHEIMER Interviewers: Diane McKenzie and Janet Schnall Dates of Interview: June 25, 1999 59 page interview, 3 tapes Gerald J. Oppenheimer was Director of the University of Washington, chairing the Committee on the Status of Librarians and working with Budget, Serials, and Collection Development Committees and with the Management Review and Analysis Program. He was very active in MLA and served on the Board and Executive Committee from 1974 to 1977. He was the founding president of the Association of Academic Health Sciences Library Directors (AAHSLD) and had a long involvement with the National Library of Medicine. Born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Oppenheimer was 11 years old when Hitler came to power. At the age of 16, he "was required to act independently and to make decisions. That, I think, set the one for building some self-confidence." He says of his background, "I think it has something to do with how I turned out eventually." His first job out of library school was at Seattle Public Library where he says he learned from "the head of the department, Edith Fry to deal with the foibles of the staff." His next position was at the Fisheries/Oceanography Library at the University of Washington where he organized the huge collection of reprints and report literature. In 1960 he took over the library of the Boeing Scientific Research Laboratories (BSRL). The experience was valuable and he learned about "getting results while working with many levels of bureaucracy."

97. SEC Speech: Trust And Public Funds (A. Levitt) And yet, certain practices remain closer to the backroom deals and honest graft of George Washington Plunkitt and his ward captains, http://www.sec.gov/news/speech/speecharchive/1999/spch263.htm

Home Previous Page Speech by SEC Chairman: In the Best Interests of Beneficiaries: Trust and Public Funds Remarks by Chairman Arthur Levitt at the 1999 Annual Meeting of the Council of Institutional Investors Washington, D.C. March 30, 1999 Thank you very much for your warm welcome. I'm here today to talk about an issue that has been close to my heart for a long time: the trust placed upon managers of public money to act in the interests of those for whose benefit the money is held. This work carries with it enormous responsibilities and great challenges. People entrust their retirements to these managers. And yet, over the years, pressure has been brought to bear to use these funds for other purposes. I know the pressures; I have seen them applied, manipulated and obliged. But, I have also seen them resisted. As many of you know, my father was for many years Comptroller of the State of New York. He was the sole trustee of two large state-run pension systems. In the 1970's during New York City's financial crisis, he was singled out as the public target of pressure to bail out the city with the pension assets by committing to buying debt that private investors had turned down. He refused, saying he "would make no such commitment because it would violate [his] fiduciary responsibilities as trustee." He was personally attacked for this position. The then-mayor said that my father would be responsible if New York City went bankrupt. True to his plain-spokenness, my father called the charge, "irresponsible nonsense." And, the city found another way out of its crisis.

Over at the Huffington Post, Norm Ornstein is hosting a competition for the most memorable lines in political history: At lunch today, the discussion turned to Marion Barry, and I reminisced about a key element of his enduring legacy: "The bitch set me up." It won't make number one on the list; my first-cut candidate there is "I am not a crook." "It all depends on the meaning of the word is" will be somewhere up there. A new candidate, moving up on the rail is "The insurgency is in its last throes." That sounds like fun! I'd probably nominate "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore," assuming the trickster can be allowed two entries. Going back a bit further, how about Andrew Jackson's wrongheaded but nonetheless splendidly spiteful "The court has made its decision...now let them enforce it." George Aiken's advice to "declare victory and go home" deserves a spot, as does Jimmy Carter's non-invocation of "malaise" — surely the most famous word in political history that was never actually uttered.

100. Gilder Lehrman Center: Sources: "On The Shame Of The Cities." Citation InformationGeorge Washington Plunkitt, On the Shame of the Cities, Plunkitt of Tammany Hall. Riordon, William L. New York 1903. http://www.yale.edu/glc/archive/992.htm

Indexed by: Subject Author Date Document Type Listed Under: Tammany Hall George Washington Plunkitt On the Shame of the Cities Citation Information: George Washington Plunkitt, "On the Shame of the Cities," Plunkitt of Tammany Hall. Riordon, William L. New York: 1903. I've been readin' a book by Lincoln Steffens on The Shame of the Cities. Steffens means well but, like all reformers, he don't know how to make distinctions. He can't see no difference between honest graft and dishonest graft and, consequent, he gets things all mixed up. There's the biggest kind of a difference between political looters and politicians who make a fortune out of politics by keepin' their eyes wide open. The looter goes in for himself alone without considerin' his organization or his city. The politician looks after his own interests, the organization's interests, and the city's interests all at the same time. See the distinction? For instance, I ain't no looter. The looter hogs it. I never hogged. I made my pile in politics, but, at the same time, I served the organization and got more big improvements for New York City than any other livin' man. And I never monkeyed with the penal code. A big city like New York or Philadelphia or Chicago might be compared to a sort of Garden of Eden, from a political point of view. It's an orchard full of beautiful apple trees. One of them has got a big sign on it, marked: "Penal Code Tree-Poison." The other trees have lots of apples on them for all. Yet the fools go to the Penal Code Tree. Why? For the reason, I guess, that a cranky child refuses to eat good food and chews up a box of matches with relish. I never had any temptation to touch the Penal Code Tree. The other apples are good enough for me and O Lord! how many of them there are in a big city!
