A Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) cartoon that depicts "Dammed if you do . . . " Panicking, sweating "Dutch Boy" (New York's Local Governments) trying to plug the leaks (new mandated programs, increased medicaid costs, Governor George Pataki's tax cuts, revenue short-falls) in the dam (Budget Crises) thats holding back the flooding water (tax hikes, less service, layoffs). Sign taped to the dam: "Less State Aid for Localities." The CSEA is New York State's largest union.
