Republicans consider
leaving mayors’ group
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Some Repub
lican mayors, upset with the Demo
cratic leadership of the U.S. Confer
ence of Mayors, said this weekend
they are considering pulling out
from the organization.
“There is not a massive pullout at
this point,” William Althaus, mayor
of York, Pa., and a leader of the dis
sidents said. “There is an explora
tion of some alternatives.”
The conference’s executive com
mittee earlier on Saturday ap
pointed Charleston, S.C., Mayor Jo
seph Riley Jr. vice president and
named East Orange, N.J., Mayor
Thomas Cooke Jr. chairman of its
advisory committee.
They, like new President Ernest
Morial of New Orleans, are Demo
crats. Under the conference’s nor
mal rules of succession, the moves
mean a Democrat will be in charge
of the organization at least through
mid-1988.
Morial assumed the presidency
Friday, replacing Hernan Padilla of
San Juan, a Republican who left of
fice as mayor Jan. 14 after losing a
race for governor of Puerto Rico.
The conference, which conducts
research and lobbies on behalf of cit
ies, has had only two Republican
presidents since 1966.
Morial, at a news conference clos
ing the mayors’ three-day mid-win
ter meeting, said the mayors must
try to help solve the federal deficit
while making sure “the administra
tion and Congress understand the
physical and human needs within
our cities.”
But he was followed to the po
dium by Althaus and Mayors James
E. Roark of Charleston, W. Va., and
John Mercer of Sunnyvale, Calif.,
who vented what they said was wide
spread frustration among the Re
publicans who comprise a third of
the conference’s members.
Althaus said if a splinter organiza
tion were formed, it would be bipar
tisan, not for Republicans only.
Roark predicted some mayors
would quit before the conference’s
annual meeting this June in
Anchorage.
