A brief look at the political scene
PHIL RARICK, GOP challenger to Thames Mauzy for the 17th District seat in the Indiana House of Representatives, criticized the gasoline tax legislation which was railroaded through the legislature so fast that its members forgot to appropriate thousands of dollars to various agencies. Rarick stated, “The story of how the gasoline tax became law is one of irresponsibility at the highest levels of state government. It does not speak well of our current Representative, Mr. Thames Mauzy, who supported the bill throughout the process.” “First, the Representatives blindly attacked the problem of road repair. Most people, if they have a problem to correct, will first decide how much money they need, particularly if it involves spending millions of dollars. The legislators have no target amount of money in mind which they believe would put the roads back in good condition. They simply decided a mechanism was needed to raise more money and then create that mechanism. “Second, the highway bill was railroaded through the Assembly with little opportunity for study, discussion or debate. Saturday evening, at 8:30 p.m., the bill was placed on the House legislators' desk. At 10 minutes to midnight it was passed. A request by one sensible legislator to recess so the members could have time to read and understand the bill was denied. What makes this story more amaziqg is that the sky was not going to fall at midnight. The legislators had two more days. They could have taken the bill

home over the week end. read it, and returned the next Monday to cast an intelligent vote. “Third, in all the haste and panic to get the bill passed, the House members forgot to appropriate money to various agencies. The state planning services agency was left with no operating money. Certain federal matching funds under the Urban Mass Transportation Act were omitted by mistake. The House members forgot to appropriate money to the public service commission for use in maintaining the railroads. Due to these oversights, it was then necessary to pass another bill, SB 268, to correct all these careless errors. “This bill presented our Representative with an excellent opportunity to show some leadership. Even though he agreed with the gasoline tax, he could have disagreed with this haphazard process that was used to ramrod it through the House. I would have protested loud and clear against the gasoline tax and the whole pressurized process used to pass the bill. I think our Representatives failed us here, and the result is that we are strapped with another inflationary tax.” —o— JUDGE J. C. Jarrett is proud of his family tree and the tradition the Jarrettes have of serving Kosciusko County. He has a printed flyer telling of this tradition James C. Jarrett was born on June 17, 1848 in the pioneer home of Jonas and Julia Jarrette in Tippecanoe Township. At the age
of 15 he enlisted in the 118th Regiment Company “G” and served for seven months in the Civil War. He married Chloe Warner, daughter of Thomas K. and Hester Ann Warner. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Grand Army of the Republic. His father and J. C.’s great-great-grandfather was a doctor in Kosciusko County in the 1840 s. The flyer is interesting and informative with information on the family and Judge Jarrette. The Judge was born on July 31, 1948, in Rochester to Letha and Wade Hampton Jarrette. His education and work record are listed up to and including September 4, 1979, when he became Kosciusko County Court Judge. —o—“THE ELDERLY citizens of

Indiana receive shoddy treatment from the State of Indiana** says a news release from Ruth Stuart, Democrat candidate for lieutenant governor. “They lose their benefits from lack of knowledge,” it continues. “They have no practical means of knowing all the benefits available to them. They have no way of keeping up with the various dates and deadlines for filing or where to get the proper forms or which office to file them in. “The elderly clearly cannot afford to lose any of their benefits. I advocate a central ‘retirees center’ under the jurisdiction of an already existing agency where the elderly and new retirees can go to sign up for all benefits available to them.
