ED COOK’S STATEHOUSE REPORT The Genera] Assembly began the 1987 long session on January 6. 1987. This session will see legislators confronting a “meaty” agenda packed with budget balancing, tax reform and economic development issues. Along with decisions hitting voters in their pocketbooks, the General Assembly will discuss quality of life issues including increased funding for education, home health care services, and various social service programs. Edacatiea Governor Orr’s proposed education program will seek to fund an array of educational reforms at a cost of nearly 5373 million over the next two years. The proposal calls for competency testing of students, longer school years and evaluation programs for teachers and administrators. These programs would be funded by broadening the sales tax base to include a sales tax on most professional and occupational services while decreasing the overall sales tax rate to 4.5%. The education reform package has received mixed reaction from legislators and many feel there are alternative sources of revenue which should be considered. Ecoeeoik Devetopascet With Indiana ranking 47th lowest in personal income growth since 1979, the creation of new job opportunities for Hoosiers must be a top priority. Local governments throughout Indiana — not just in Indianapolis — must be given the resources necessary to improve their roads, sewers and municipal services in order to revive the state’s sluggish economic growth. Since the greatest increase in job opportunities will continue to be in high-tech, high-skill industries, a sound economic development plan for the state must include a sound educational program. The challenge facing the legislature this session is one of implementing programs that will market Indiana successfully while avoiding an excessive reliance on costly incentive packages. An effort to lift Indiana's con-

stitutional ban on lotteries will be made during this session. The legislature will first have to reaffirm a 1986 resolution in order to actually lift the ban. If this effort is successful, the lottery question would appear on 1988 General Election ballots. In order to speed this process, the legislature may try to pass a bill which would place the lottery question on municipal election ballots in 1987. Revenues of up to $52 million could be generated by a state-run lottery in Indiana. Social Services A great deal of attention will be given to the adoption of a member of social service proposals during this session. Mandatory work, job-search, and training programs for welfare and food stamp recipients will be proposed as will provisions requiring recipients to perform mandatory community service work. Legislation to provide better welfare benefits to families with dependent children will also be discussed. The new AFDC-UP Plan would allow families to qualify for welfare even if the unemployed wage-earning parent lives with the family. A proposed 1 cent increase in the state cigarette tax would help fund local health departments, supplement federal health and nutrition programs, and continue funding for after-school child-care programs. Local Meesared Service A bill (HB 1057) introduced this session would prohibit telephone companies from imposing local measured service on Indiana customers and if passed would be retroactive to December 1, 1986. Indiana Bell's local measured service (LMS) will be studied by the legislature during this session. LMS charges customers for local calls in the same way that longdistance calls are currently charged, i.e. on the basis of the number, length and distance of one’s calls as well as the time of day when they were made. The LMS proposal is currently under consideration by the Public Service Commission.
