proposed tuesday by erie county executive edward j rut 1 kowski the rutkowski plan to advance the county's budget cycle would start the process on the first tuesday in september a rather than the current november 10 date all action would be completed by the last week on october instead of early december the new plan would give the county legislature seven weeks to work on the budget instead of tkr arret three-week period it is in the best public interest to complete all work on the budget prior to election day county executive rutkowski said it means greater public accountability by elected officials and assures that there cannot be any budget surprises by the legislature or the execu tive after election day although the plan is subject to a mandatory referendum this novem ber rutkowski said he will present the 1987 budget to the legislature on september 2 if the legislature agrees in advanfce to adhere to the new timetable rutkowski said he is strongly oppossed to another measure the so-called straddle plan backed by democrat coun ty legislator leonard leni han which would have the county executive propose the budget before election day but allow the legislature to delay their action until after election day it would lead to the worse sort of political tampering he observed rutkowski also said that in the future he would like 10 see the start of ' the county fiscal year changed to an earlier date such as july ist given the complex interrelationships between the county and local governments how ever such a move could take years to accomplish while my plan can be
