Senior focus Canceled stamps collected

“RSVP Reflections,” submitted by Frances Washburne, RSVP director RSVP is once again collecting canceled stamps. For several months it has had no place to take them but RSVP has saved every stamp anyone brought in during that time. So many persons have continued to bring them to the RSVP office that it cannot give credit to each of you at this time as there wouldn’t be room to list all of you but the efforts of everyone of you involved is appreciated. THE CANCELED stamps will be given to a RSVP volunteer who will send them to The Window, which is a Community Volunteer Center in Goshen. The Window serves as a national collection center for canceled stamps to help ra>se funds for Heifer Project, International, for agricultural development in third-world countries. Anyone who would like to donate canceled stamps for this worthy cause may bring them to the RSVP program at the Senior Center. Please do not remove them from the envelopes. Instead, tear off the stamp, making sure that there is a large margin around it. Persons with questions may call RSVP at 653-3011. ♦** Birthday cards have been mailed to all active volunteers having birthdays in the month of March. The party is at 2 p.m. Thursday, March 14. *** The Energy Assistance Program is quickly coming to a close for this year. There is a possibility that it may be closed by the time this notice is printed. However, the office will be managed for a week after the closing, so you may phone 653-4017 for any questions.

sential to being economically competitive.” The Senate Democrats claim to agree with that sentiment and goes one step further, saying, “...every effort (should) be made to increase funding for our public schools and institutions of higher learning.” If the budget must be cut, education should be the last area to feel the knife, Senate Democrats claim. “THE PROPOSED BUDGET recommends over S2OO million in cuts for local school funding for the 1992 and 1993 calendar years,” the position paper states. “Furthermore, it reduces appropriations for university operating budgets by over S3O million for the biennium.” Those cuts, the Senators claim, will reduce state’s spending on education from 60 percent of the state’s General Fund down to 55 percent. “To give a better perspective to this decline, one must consider the fact that this is a five percentage point decrease relative to a $6.1 billion General Fund budget,” the Democrats point out. They make their position clear. “OUR CAUCUS CONSIDERS this development as detrimental to the well being of our children and future generations of Hoosiers,” they wrote in their position paper. The Democrats point out that despite economic uncertainties, “our revenues are significantly ahead of the target. If the current positive revenue pattern continues, we may be able to mend some of the aforementioned fissures in the state’s expenditure plan. “If, however, the fiscal situation worsens, we should be ready to take a much different approach. We should be prepared to either rearrange our priorities, or expand our sources of revenues or both. Senate Democrats strongly believe that we simply cannot as-

ford to backtrack on our commitment to a better future for Indiana.” AND ON THURSDAY, the Senate Democrats backed up their words with votes, helping pass S B 601. S.B. 601, co-sponsored by Sen. Ed Pease (R-Brazil) and Sen. Robert Hellmann (D-Terre Haute) bolsters community corrections programs across Indiana. That, in turn, could save as much as $44 million from the Department of Correction budget, Pease has said. He gets that figure from work performed by the Legislative Services Agency. However, Hellmann points out that S.B. 601 actually avoids expenses, and just how much money is involved is yet to be seen. But if LSA computations are accurate, lawmakers could have as much as $44 million to spend. About $5 million would be spent on community corrections, leaving $39 million left unmarked in the stale’s General Fund. SOME OF THAT money could easily be tagged an to the Department of Education budget, meaning local schools could realize increased state aid, instead of cuts proposes by the administration and House Democrats as embodied in House Bill 1800. But S.B. 601 now must make its way through the House and then go to Bayh’s desk for signature. In between, a conference committee will likely have to go through it, reconciling the Senate version and the House version. Hellmann said he and Pease met with some of Bayh’s staff. He said it is still too early in the legislative process for them to take a firm stand on the bill. However, Hellmann said they seem receptive and open to taking a second look at correction policies, which is what S.B. 601 docs, he says.
