Page 14 Daily Citizen Tuesday, October 2, 1990 Budget (Continued from Page 1) would help, I would be glad to do that." Republicans and Democrats from both chambers of Congress met separately as their leaders tried to gauge support. Vice President Dan Quayle and other top administration officials met with Republicans in an effort to find votes. The leaders' goal was to line up a majority of votes for the plan from members of each party in the on future congressional votes to cut spending. That left a question of how many of the House's 176 Republicans would follow Gingrich's lead. Further concern was raised by the plan's inclusion of a 2 percent sales tax on home heating oil, a last-minute addition to the package.

Some moderate Republicans from the Northeast said they would have trouble supporting the plan with that levy. House and Senate, a result that would help shield incumbents who voted for the package from campaign attacks. One of the most difficult jobs seemed to fall upon House Minority Leader Robert Michel, R-I1L Michel's top lieutenant, conservative Rep. Newt Gingrich, said he would oppose the plan. He complained that it lacked sufficient incentives for businesses and that it locked in new taxes while relying State reaction war 1 I v.

"We're very disappointed that beer drinkers shoulder the heavy burden of this deficit reduction package," he said. "Excise taxes are the most regressive of the taxes, falling on those least able to pay." The government also seeks taxes on tobacco, gasoline and luxury items such as expensive cars, boats, jewelry and furs. "We shouldn't be paying the federal debt at the gas pump," said Ernie Stetcnfcld, a spokesman for the American Automobile Association in Wisconsin.

of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, said negotiators took the easy way out by taxing items such as beer. Medicare will take the largest hit of any of the entitlement programs, with a hoped-for reduction of $60 billion. Jeff Napier, president of the National Marine Manufacturers Association in Chicago, said the increased tax on boats costing more than $100,000 would mean the loss of jobs in the boating industry, particularly in Wisconsin. Steve Forsyth, spokesman for the Miller Brewing said the federal tax on beer 34 cents a six-pack compared with the present 16 cents (Continued from Page 1) the excise tax on beer, according to the Washington-based Beer Institute, which said a reduction in beer consumption would result in the job cuts. The deficit-cutting proposal also caught criticism from senior citizens for its Medicare rate hikes and business observers who predict hundreds of lost jobs if the plan takes effect "It's just ridiculous," said Lou Zantow, benefit specialist for the Brown County Commission on Aging.

"That's a shocking approach to deficit reduction shocking and unfortunate." Business leaders expressed similar opposition.

Citizen Staff Photo Yields up, prices down for 1990 potato harvest May ville board receives $500 to fight insurance battle Portage County Agriculture Agent Dave Ankley said.

"But yields will be up there." Portage County, the state's top county for potato acreage, planted between 24,000 and 26,000 acres of potatoes in 1990, Ankley said. About 69,000 acres of potatoes were planted in Wisconsin, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates. cultural Statistics Service. In August, farmers received an average price of $6.40 per hundred pounds for wholesale potatoes.

In 1989, the August price was $6.90 per hundredweight. In September, the prices slipped to $5.30 per hun-drcJ pounds, compared to $6.15 per hundredweight in September 1989, statistics showed. OFFICIALS and growers said they expected a yield this year of about 41,000 to 42,000 pounds of potatoes per acre, compared to an average of 40,000 pounds per acre in 1989. But the larger supply of potatoes in Wisconsin is lowering the market price this year, according to Heidi Furseth, a crop statistician for the Wisconsin Agri STEVENS POINT, Wis. (AP) An unseasonably cool, wet growing season hasn't prevented the Wisconsin potato crop from recording above-average yields.

But officials say growers won't pocket more profits because market prices are down. "It was a slow start, and it took longer for them to get out of the ground," It's so critical, Bushke said, that Mayville is "the first school district in the state to receive financial support from WASB at his stage." Generally, WASB does not give any funds to districts until after' a decision has been reached on a case, he added. "It just shows the importance of this case," he said. While $500 may not seem like much, Bushke told board members that WASB works on a very small budget and the largest grant it ever provides is $1,000. "The importance of this is more political than financial," he said.

Member Dave Pasbrig reminded the school board that "the school district of Mayville is taking on the largest union in the state of Wisconsin" the teacher's union. In June, Amedeo Greco of the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission ruled on three complaints filed by the Mayville Education Association. The complaints were filed in January, 1988 after the school board voted to change its insurance to a self-funded plan. The first ruling determined that the district did not act unlawfully by terminating the teacher union's health and dental plans and switching over to self-funded; the second ruling deemed the district and school board did not improperly reduce andor change benefits according to state statues; and the third finding stated the district did not violate state statues when it failed to provide MEA with certain requested information regarding its self-funded health and dental plans. Two weeks after Greco's ruling, MEA requested a reversal of the examiner's ruling stating his decision was "erroneous and raises a substantial question of law." LOUISE MACIEJEWSKI, MEA president, has stated that the union plans to continue the fight becuase it believes it will lose benefits with the self-funded plan.

Bushke disagrees and has stated that no benefits are lost with the new plan. Last year the district spent $60,000 on attorney's fee on the case. Bushke has stated that the district's bill could run as high as $100,000. By CHERYL McCOLLUM MAYVILLE In an unusual move, the Mayville School Board will soon be receiving a check for $500 from a state school board association to help cover legal fees of a case in which teachers are seeking a reversal of a self-funded insurance decision. Wisconsin Association of School Boards, Inc.

confirmed at a meeting earlier this month that it will give the Mayville School Board $500. The money will be used to cover attorney costs for the district's self-funded health insurance case which has been appealed by the Mayville teachers and is pending before the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission. A hearing examiner's ruled in June to dismiss the complaint from the Mayville teacher's union regarding a change in health and dental insurance. That ruling prompted the teacher's union to ask for a reversal of the examiner's decision. AT MONDAY' NIGHT'S school board meeting, Bushke said the WASB views this case, now in the appeal process, as an important one.

Obituaries Juvenile correction costs spark county committee's legislative appeal By CHERYL McCOLLUM JUNEAU The rising cost of housing juvenile delinquents and an increase in dysfunctional families prompted the Dodge County Executive Committee to meet with area lawmakers to discuss the problem. At Monday's committee meeting, members met with Representatives Randall Radtke, R-Lake Mills, Robert Goctsch, R-Juneau, and Michael Lehman, R-Hartford. The discussion focused on what the county and state can do together to keep those rising costs down. Supervisor Dclwyn Bicl said he was hoping legislation could be passed so that the county could retrieve some of its alternative care costs from the perpetrators of the crimes, such as child abusers. "Why should the taxpayer have to pay for the counseling of individual that was abused?" Biel asked, adding that the person who did the abusing should pay those costs, especially if they have the funds available.

While representatives agreed there is a problem, Lehman noted that alternatives need to be worked out if the person refuses to pay. "You have to look at jail time then which includes more costs," he said. SOCIAL SERVICES Director Don Noltncr told representatives that what prompted this whole question of costs was the review of the 1991 budget for social services, which is expected to see an increase. In the last five years, he said, the county has placed a greater number of children in alternative care centers, such as foster homes, group homes and institutions. The number of dysfunctional families have also increased, Noltner added.

"We're just seeing more and more cases coming through, which cost money," he said, adding that the number of delinquent cases are increasing 12 to 14 percent a year. Garland Lichtenberg, administrative secretary to the county board, expressed his concerns to lawmakers about the state mandating judges to appoint guardian ad litems for every juvenile. "If you want to look for a mandate to eliminate, that's one," he said. Lichtenberg said legislation should be changed so it's up to the judge whether a guardian ad litem should be appointed or not. For 1991, the guardian ad litem budget is expected to hit around $66,000.

WHILE NOLTNER said the county has had its successes in getting delinquents back on the right track, he said what is needed to increase those numbers are more programs. An increase in state money is needed to set up more alternative proerams Mayville, and at St. Matthew's Church on Wednesday from noon until the time of the funeral service.
