BETHLEHEM State rules snagDem chairman By Mark Stuart In anticipation of a new state eth­ ics law prohibiting state policy mak­ ers from serving as political party heads, Arthur Brown will resign his post as Bethle­ hem Democratic Convnittee chair­ man in February. Vice chairman Matthew Clyne of Arthur M. Brown Beacon Road, Glenmont will fill the vacancy of Brown's unexpired term which ends in Septem­ ber. The committee will need to elect a new vice chairman when Clyne becomes chairman. Under the proposed state regulation, a state policy maker who is also a town· political party chairman would have to quit either the party post or the state job, whether the political position is national, state or local. Brown said he expects the commis­ sion to approve the regulation shortly after Feb. 17, the final day of .a 45-day public comment period. "I expect the rules to be effective sometime next month," Brown said, "My Phones are silent in wake of cuts positionascommitteechairman has never conflicted with the Department of Social By Patricia Dumas and are holding back on employee raises council has suffered from diminishing Services, but I do agree with the policy. • One local hotline is cold. and hiring.
