Open Door Weekly Report From Senator John B. Augsburger

The senate stayed in session until midnight on Tuesday to give maximum attention to all bills up for passage. At this writing, leaders of the two chambers have agreed to schedule session days on Thursday, April 7; Tuesday, April 12; and Friday, April 15. If this fails to wind it up, there would be two more session days available for senate business at anytime until the statutory deadline on April 30. The outcome of many important issues wait to be determine!, with the forecast issue being the state budget for the next two years. Tax measures and bills having fiscal impact on our state’s economy are involved in the final determination of how expenditures will be balanced with income. A bill thaV would make use of Laetrile for cancer patients legal in Indiana passed the senate, but a number of hurdles remain. A conference committee must agree on revisions in the bill before it goes to Governor Bowen,. Concurrence on SB 497, of which I am co-author, passed the Senate today, April 7. This measure* will create a superior court in DeKalb County. HB 1272 restructures the sales tax on gasoline and includes it in the pump price passed the senate on Tuesday. It is expected to be used by a House-Senate Conference committee for renewed efforts to raise the gas gallonage tax for roads and street maintenance Other bills passing include HB 1721 which would raise benefits for retired judges and HB 1096 which would boost salaries for part-time county prosecutors by a 38-7 vots. HB 2172 passed the senate also. It would allow the department of correction to convert the Norman Beatty Hospital at Westville to a maximum security prison and, thus, alleviate overcrowded conditions at other prisons. This bill also would place all control of Beatty in the hands of the Fithian maintains near-perfect voting record WASHINGTON - Congressman Floyd Fithian has maintained an unusually high voting percentage in the house during the first months of the 95th congress. Statistics recently released by the clerk of the house indicate that Fithian has been present for 100 per cent of the recorded votes and quorum calls through the first 100 roll calls of the congress. Fithian’s overall voting percentage is 97 per cent, reflecting three yea-nay votes that he missed on March 7 while attending a committee meeting. Those votes dealt with efforts to reconstitute the select committe on professional sports (H. Res. 111). “It’s important for a congressman to stay in touch with the people he represents, and that's why I return to Indiana almost every weekend," Fithian commented “But it’s also important to be present and voting on behalf of the people unless unusual circumstances arise I’m proud of this attendance record, and 1 will strive to keep it up ” Fithian also has maintained a good attendance record in the three committees and seven subcommittees of which he is a member

department of correction and remove department of mental health authority and personnel from the Institution. A 1971 statute that extended home rule to 115 Indiana cities will now be extended to 450 incorporated towns. On April 6, Governor Bowen signed SB 199 which would allow Indiana towns, for example, to establish programs for senior citizens, youth or the handicapped without specific authorization by the general assembly. The law becomes effective October 1. The Sunshine Bill, SB 83. passed the house with amendments and will now come back to the senate for acceptance or rejection of those amendments. There are several other concurrence motions on file in the Senate. In each case, if the senate accepts house amendments, the bill can go. to Governor Bowen. Some of those on file include: SB 21 for rural homesteading tax breaks; SB 43 to provide penalties for using obscene language over CB radios , SB 430 providing that a surviving spouse will get all household goods unless a will provides otherwise; and. SB 491 providing that public hospitals must extend emergency medical service to rape victims and bear the cost in cases involving indigent victims.

OUR LEGISLATURE BY THAMES MAUZY State Representative

The governmental reorganization trend begun in the early seventies is characterized by a new desire on the part of citizens and elected officials to open up the government so that it is available to both the scrutiny and the input of the average citizen. The Indiana General Assembly has now taken a step in the direction of this new governmental trend and approved S B. 83. commonly known as the “sunshine bill.” The main purpose is summed up in Section 1 of the bill which reads, "In enacting this chapter, the general assembly finds and declares that this state and its political subdivisions exist only to aid in the conduct of the business of the citizens of this state. It is the intent of this chapter that the deliberations and actions of public agencies be conducted and taken openly... in order that the citizens may be fully informed. The bill received the name "sunshine" because of its attempt to bring governmental decision making from behind closed doors and out into the open for everyone to see. The wheels of sunshine legislation were put into motion last year when the interim study committee on public access to = governmental decision making process met to consider the problem The committee consisted not only of representatives and senators but also a number of journalists and other lay persons The committee undertook to hear all views in the issue of open meetings in legislation Not only representatives of affected groups were heard, but also front line people were especially in-

Clean-up Day proclaimed

Saturday, April 30, has been proclaimed Spring Clean-up Day in Kosciusko County by commissioners Frederick Gilliam. Maurice Dorsey and Gerald Smalley. The county-wide clean-up campaign will be spearheaded by Kosciusko Educational and Environmental Practices, Inc. (KEEP) and the Kosciusko district of the Anthony Wayne Area Council of Boy Scouts. All Boy Scout and Cub Scout troops will participate in the elean-up drive as part of their annual Save Our American Resources (SOAR) program. They join KEEP in urging every civic organization, service club Plan commission, town board to hold joint session A meeting of the Syracuse Plan Commission will be held Thursday, April 14. at 7 p.m., in the Town Hall. Matters to be discussed are the proposed zoning ordinance and land use map, the spot rezoning for Vega Corporation and additional units for Heckaman. Immediately following this meeting, there will be a special joint meeting oi the plan commission and the town board to discuss the proposed zoning ordinance and land use map. This meeting will be open to the public.

vited, such as members of school boards, members of town boards and city councils and the media. Although the committee reported different witnesses held different concepts of open government and its implementation, ”... almost all, if not all, of the persons testifying before the committee expressed their support of the open meetings concept ’’

As a result of their numerous meetings and witnesses, the committee drafted what was later to become known as S B. 83 or the sunshine bill. The bill essentially calls for public agencies to be required to notify the public and media of scheduled meetings, to provide an agenda, if one is used and to post minutes if they are kept. The use of executive sessions is strictly limited and final action is prohibited at any of these closed meetings. Executive sessions may be held for discussion of strategy in respect to: collective bargaining, pending or threatened litigation, the implementation-, of security systems, the purchase of property, or personnel matters The bill poses no criminal penalties for violators per se, but does provide that any citizen can file a civil suit to declare actions invalid taken at closed meetings in violation of this new law. This bill passed the senate 50-0 and the house by 81-14. A few members of the House complained that certain meetings of public agencies needed provided. The sunshine bill is a needed step in the right direction of opening up government and eliciting input from citizens. I voted for the bill, knowing it will not be the complete answer to skepticism towards government, but it’s a course we have to begin to follow CB leads to arrest A citizen using a CB radio led to the arrest of two Syracuse men and one North Webster man on charges of illegal possession of marijuana and public intoxication at 1:05 a m. Saturday, April 9. The men. Stephen Lee Stout. 22. r 1 North Webster. Douglas Lee Ringler. 22, r 1 and John L. Auer, 21,131 West Boston Street, both of Syracuse, were waiting on a stalled train on North Main Street south of Wilkinson Street, Goshen. The citizen observed them drinking and smoking while honking the car’s horn. He then got on his CB to another CBer who called police who took the trio into custody. Fire at city dump A brush fire at the city dump in Syracuse broke out at 8:51 p.m. Monday evening. April 11. The call was reported by Rose Ann Gangrich, 4314 Huntington Street. Cause of the fire is unknown and no damage was estimated. Firemen wet down the area ami let the brush bum out. Firemen were excused at 10 p.m.

and youth group to participate in the annual event to rid the county of trash and litter that has accumulated during the winter months. The clean-up project is being organized on an area basis with volunteers collecting litter from roadsides, vacant lots, streets and alleys, and lake areas in their own community. The commissioners announced that Dewart Lake and Packerton Landfills will be open until 5 p.m., on April 30 and have waived the usual fee for Spring Clean-up Day. Each group is encouraged to take the trash collected from their area directly to one of the landfills; however, arrangements can be made to have the litter picked up from central collection points. In addition to the group effort by clubs and organizations, the commissioners have urged citizens to participate bycleaning their own property, and perhaps organizing neighbors to clean a larger area. A meeting for representatives of participating groups and other interested individuals will be Wednesday, April 20,7:30 p.m. in the REMC Building in Warsaw. Plans for the campaign will be finalized and supplies distributed to area representatives.
