Escape mechanisms

By J. W. ANDERSON A person is charged with some serious misconduct of which he is really guilty. Instead of trying to disprove the allegations, he announces that he is suing the person who revealed the facts. He sues for a large sum. It is just as easy to sue for a million as to sue

the fire department and dispatchers. Butt, who will be working with the Kosciusko County Area Planning Commission, and joins Darrell Grisamer on the dam control board. Myrick will continue to work with the Syracuse Police Department, while Hughes will, work with the park board. In additional action taken, Bob Reed was retained as the town’s attorney, Warren Swartz continues as the town marshal. „ Bob Wooten was named the Civil Defense Director, while Jim Tranter was given a four-year term to serve on Board of Zoning Appeals board. Guaranteed export loans available The Indiana Loan Guarantee Program is being administered by the Employment Developjpent Commission which is empowereclto provide job creating manufacilrmgenterpnses with access to capital markets where adequate financing is otherwise not available. The Commission may guarantee loans or bonds secured by real estate and equipment. Fixed asset guarantees for a single project may not exceed $2 million. The maximum guarantee of a working capital loan for export is $500,000 and may not exceed 80 percent of the outstanding loan balance. The working capital loans are available for projects which lead directly to job creation, through sales of products to federal, state or local government or through foreign exports. Information on the loans is available from the Indiana Employment Development Commission.

for a thousand. He hopes that a threatened suit for such a large sum of money will receive much publicity. The courts are behind in their work, so there is a long wait before the case can be heard. Hoping for little or no publicity, he later withdraws the suit. Suits are often brought before elections and withdrawn after elections. Government officials have many ways of passing the buck. A common technique is to borrow money for expensive projects and burden later administrations with interest and principal payments. They adopt generous pension plans that cost little in the beginning. When they are safely out of office, their successors are left with the problem of finding money for the accelerating costs of the programs. Parents are blamed for the misconduct of their children at school when the school permits conduct that would never be tolerated at home. “There ought to be a law” is a common expression. Many laws, rules and regulations are constantly being adopted, but few are repealed. Laws fall into disuse and are simply forgotten. Humorous books are ’ written about quaint laws still on the books and laws that never have been enforced. People pass laws to satisfy their own egos. Nebraska once had a law that provided that when two trains approached a crossing, both had to stop and neither could proceed until the other had passed the crossing. Jay walking is illegal in many cities, but you would never know it. The police might not even know that it is illegal. Government officials announce pollution regulations and privately assure the polluters that the regulations will not be enforced. In this way they hope to satisfy everyone. Instead of striking or calling in sick, a group of french government workers simply obeyed every rule and regulation. In no time the government called for mercy. Many a school could be brought to a’sta nds till by obeying and enforcing all the rules. Schools pass more rules than they rescind. Introducing a motion to impeach a government official is one way to work out a frustration. Threatening to impeach an official is a safe treat to make. Very few officials are ever impeached and still fewer and found guilty and removed. Out West one can still occasionally see a faded, road sign urging the ment of Earl Warren. Threatening to impeach a person is usually ' merely a publicity stunt. Threatening to amend the Constitution is another way to blow off steam and accomplish nothing. Os the over 9,400 proposed amendments only 26 have passed. It is safe to play to the galleries because few of the noble and frivolous ideas and temporary gripes will ever be enshrined in the Constitution. x We now have the spectacle of an administration adopting the llrgest budget in the history of the country and creating the largest deficit in the history of the country advocating the adoption of a Constitutional amendment to make such conduct unconstitutional. r""

Mutz aids construction industry

By the year 1990, the construction industry will need over one million skilled workers in the United States, says the Indiana Contractor’s Education Center, Inc. « The center hopes to provide solutions to the above-stated problem with the help of a state grant of $12,500 from the Indiana Department of Commerce. This grant is in addition to funds being provided by the Federal Highway Administration. “Indiana Contractors Educational Center has, in the past, developed budding entrepreneurs into successful contractors. Jh • w ■■ -A t-L "3 K ■ fW EXPLAINS PHONE CHANGES — Jerry Rumple, Nappanee, customer service manager for the United Telephone Company, is pictured at the North Webster Kiwanis Club answering questions on adjustment of costs of local and long distance telephone service. Rumple spoke at the December 26 meeting. The new regulations will increase the cost of local service and reduce the cost of long distance calls. Currently, revenues from long distance calls have been used to cover the cost of local service. Beginning January 1, 1984, local telephone rates must provide for the cost of local service. < United Telephone Company plans to increase its local rates by $4 per line beginning April 3, 1984. Rates will continue to increase through 1989. The company is also examining measured service as a possible method for financing local service. Under this method the local rate for a telephone line would be based on the use of the line for local calls.

Without the Center’s help, many of these businesses would falter,” said Lt. Gov. John Mutz, director of the Indiana Department of Commerce. “It is necessary to support nonprofit organizations such as the Indiana Contractors Educational Center if we want our communities growing,” added Mutz. The Renter has listed seven goals and objectives which they hope to accomplish by the end of 1984. Included in their plans are: increasing current activities and the development of constructionrelated vocational training programs for youth and displaced workers; and the development of an aggressive fund-raising program so that they may become financially independent. Development package opens ' 1 ’ I local plant \ Grants and loans from the Orr/Mutz Economic Development Package were key factors in the decision to re-open an idle AM General plant in Mishawaka, according to Lt. Gov. John Mutz. About 1,500 people will be employed at the peak of a 10-year contract calling for AM General to produce a new vehicle, the “Hummer” for the United States Department of Defense. The company recently sold the building to LTV of Houston, Texas, but will go ahead with the project in the plant. Mishawaka will receive two grants from the Department of Commerce including a $615,000 grant which will extend sewer and water lines from the plant. The second grant of $585,000 will he loaned by the city to AM General for a waste treatment plant for the new manufacturing operation. The money will come from the Investment Incentive Fund, and the city will keep the loan repayments and apply them to future economic developments. “We had the opportunity to really make the difference in this case, and fortunately Indiana offered a package of incentives that convinced AM General that we mean business when it comes to economic development,” said Mutz. “Just the ‘Hummer’ contract will be a boost for the area economy, creating 37 new jobs every working day.”
