That list included a major and two first sergeants.” Cornelius said the dispute was not a typical labor-management matter. “The 650 members in the alliance includes troopers to lieutenant colonels. The alliance includes both facets of working people that should have input. Referring to any type of job action on the part of the troopers, Cornelius said, “We have heard for the last two years, they may do this, but they’re serious about it now. We prefer to leave the doors of communications open. “IF THERE IS A CALL for a job action, those doors of communication would be closed forever.” Cornelius said any move to begin a job

action by troopers would come from the field and the alliance would not instigate such a situation. “W'e had a board meeting last Friday night,” he said, referring to alliance representatives. “We were interested in seeing what the people think we should do. We do feel locked in at the moment. We (the alliance) are not suggesting a job action. We are suggesting that business go on as usual.” If a job action is enacted, the target day suggested is Monday, the day Shettle is to be sworn into office by Gov. Orr.

Legislature 'Bl

'Long session' ahead for lawmakers

By REP. JOHN THOMAS District 48 The 1981 Indiana General Assembly convenes on Wednesday of this week to commence the “long session.” We will spend a maximum of 60 legislative days, and must complete our work not later than April 30. Prior experience would indicate the session will end prior to the middle of April. THE SESSION GIVES every indication of being a busy one. Not only must we adopt the biennial budget but we must try to fund the basic needs for which state government is repsonsible without increasing taxes. Legislative reapportionment and congressional redistricting will require a great amount effort in order to create one hundred house districts and fifty senate districts, each equal in population. It appears that we must also come up with 10 instead of 11 congressional districts due to Indiana lagging slightly behind the national average in population growth. My personal leadership involvement in the Legislature will include that of being assistant majority leader and chairman of the Ethics Committee. A recent felony conviction of a state legislator has focused on the question of legislative ethics. Also, spending habits of certain lobbyists need to be either curtailed or made public.
