3 March 5,975 88th Dstrct Report by Stanley Powell, State Representate If pu hear a Democrat comng- up wth a good dea, maybe the Republcans should hae the- credt for t. A case n pont s the Job Deelopment Authorty Bll. Ths excellent proposal for economc expanson In Mchgan was frst ntroduced n the House last sesson by Republcan Representate Edgar Geerlngs of Muskegon, but was bured n commttee by the Democrats. Goernor Mllken endorsed the dea n hs State of the State message last month. "" Now howeer, freshman Democrat Senator Tony Dereznsk, also of Muskegon, has.prated the bll and ntroduced t n the Senate as hs own. Although Representate Geerlngs has agan ntroduced hs bll n the House on January 27,975, you can be sure that the Democrat majortes n both Houses " wll adopt the Dereznsk bll, f any, * ^ In spte of ths njustce^ Republcans wll contnue (to propose workable, effecte solutons for Mchgans problems, We feel an oblgaton to deote ourseles to such create thnkng. DEMANDS AND DISRUPTION IN THE HOUSE " On Wednesday, February 9, a group of about 00 demonstrators held a rally on the Captol steps. Ths was the frst demonstraton at the Captol n qute some tme. The group was made up, of generally young people, most of whom were apparently from the Detrot area. They carred banners, ostensbly protestng unemployment and spendng cuts, whch were emblazoned.^th the nsgna of the Progresse Labor Party. Adance publcty had suggested that thousands of workers would partcpate n the rally. I would guess that the low turnout was a result of those others ether-actely seekng jobs, JOT workng to keep the ones they hae. After some rather ncendary speeches on the Captol steps for a small croup of newsmen, ftfl^mstr^lmwc^e4 nsde to"thehouse gallery. Very sobn after the House began the days sesson, the group began to chant, "30 hours work for 40 hours pay!." and "We want work now!" When the unruly crowd of demonstrators faled to respond to the appeal of the Speaker for order, the Legslate leaders soled the stuaton-by callng party caucuses. The Democrats went to a caucus on the frst floor and the Republcans held a caucus on the 4th floor and the % demonstrators went to ther busses and departed for the Detrot Metropoltan area. Hand blls whch they strewed around the Captrol threatened^ that they are plannng "mass st-ns at cty halls, MESC offces, welfare and food stamp offces, and most mportantly, at the plants that lad us off. Our outlook must be for a TOTAL SHUTDOWN OF PRODUC TION UNTIL THERE ARE JOBS FOR ALL." Representate Dstrct who faors thjs proposal. _ One townshp clerk ponted out that he regsters oters for three dfferent school dstrcts and ths proposed legslaton wotld result n plenty of confuson for hm, He wrote, "Wedo not want to be held responsble for ncorrect forms sent to Us from the drers lcense offce, please leae these electon laws as they are jow as they work ery effcently. Also, we people of the townshp wsh that the local townshp busness be left n local elected offcers hands, as we feel local people know local needs better than strangers to the area would or could." ther majorty to help prode What Mchgan needs most,, House Republcan Floor Leader Wllam R. Bryant of GrossePonte had proposed the Legslature adopt a "Challenge of the Year" to help focus ts efforts for 975. Bryants suggested "Challenge" was n. the area of employment and job deelopment; Goernor Mllken and other legslate leaders had supported ths dea. But Democrat House Speaker Bobby Crm of Dason and Democrat Senate Majorty Reader Wllam Ftzgerald of Detrot hae both rejected the proposal as "unnterestng." "Representate Bryants proposal for a "Challenge of the Yegr" was frst put forth last DEMOCRATS REJECT *A year as an, alternate to the LEADERSHIP OP- Specal Sesson defned n the PORTUNITY Consttuton. Specal Sessons of Although the Democrats, the Legslature may deal only control both Houses of the wth a specfc area of Legslature, they are apparently not nterested n usng Goernor* Snce the legslaton as defned by the Legslature CLINTON COUNTY NEWS,"sT JOrt^S, MICHIGAN now s n regular sesson all year, there s ery lttle op-. portunty to call a Specal.

Therefore, the only way to drect the Legslatures attenton to a partcular area would be through the adopton of somethng lke a "Challenge of the Year." t s astonshng to thnk that, n these tmes of economc uncertanty, the Democrat leaders n the House and Senate wll not commt themseles to work for added employment and job deelopment, They are apparently followng a polcy of "watch what we say, not what we do." AN INCREDIBLE CASE OF WELFARE FRAUD A recent artcle n the Detrot News demonstrated how rdculously easy t s to get away -wth welfare, fraud n Mchgan. A story" descrbed the case of a woman who fled for Ad to Dependent Chldren payments and clamed that she had 7 chldren and the fathers whereabouts were unknown. But 5 of the chldren were fcttous: she clamed she gae brth to a set of twns and a set of trplets only fe months apart!

Major problems faqe Mchgans. transportaton system. The bad news of the proposed abandonment of many of Mchgans outstate ralroads s only the latest of q gloomy seres. * In a way, the ralroad problem s related to the other problems through the common thread of the world energy shortage. If t were not for our growng concern wth dwndlng petroleum supples t wouldmake lttle sense to talk of ^pyernme.n r actonjto sae ral serce that s losng money. Use trucks nstead. Howeer, n energy consumpton, nothng can moe heay loads lke agrcultural products wth anywhere near the effcency of ralroads. So energy arguments combned wthfocaleconomc arguments support sang the ralroads. Other transportaton problems requrng early solutpn nclude the followng. Mass transt. To presere fyym the State Senate petroleum for automoble use n those knds of trps where nothng can compete n conenence Wth the auto, we need to deelop subways, buses, commuter lnes and other means of mong large numbers of people n ther daly trps to work, shop, and play.

Decreasng reenues from dewndlng gas tax reenues and ncreased costs of basc supples lke asphalt hae made a bad stuaton worse; Drt roads and potholes ncrease consumpton and auto repars: We need a strong new program, Non-motorzed..transportaton. When I frst was talkng about better facltes for bcyclng and walkng, many people thoughtthese were frolous acttes. Now they are logcal, energy sang alternates for short trps. The edence s wth decent facltes prodng some safety and conenence, energy ( can be saed. Now the obous queston. Where do we get the money. Well, I thnk the answer Is almost as obous. The federalgoernment Is gong to rase gas prces by one method or another, The only queston s how much. Maybe ten cents, maybe thrty cents. Not because there s a sold plan for where the money s needed. Rase the prce to decrease consumpton and aod heay oblgatons to the Arabs s the theory. States should hae a crack at that money to mproe transportaton facltes. The mechancs would be easy to work out. Up to 80% of a fe cent State gas tax ncrease should be deductble from any federal ncrease. Nobody lkes a tax ncrease. But f were^gong to get t anyway, t.should go for badly needed programs - lke ralroads, mass transt, local roads and non-motorzed transportaton. j > POOR THINKING ON VOTER REGISTRATION By the tme you read ths, the House may hae oted on a bll to allow people to regster to ote at the Secretary df States offce w ( her they renew ther drers lcenses.

Here are some tps to consder, The locaton of the heatng cols s one of the most mportant features; of an electrc slow cooker. If the heatng cols are located only n the base of the cooker, the effect s the same as a gauge pot on the electrc range at the warm temperature. After determnng the locaton of the heat source, nspect the ld. Wth a sjtje.- through ld, you can check the food wthout lftng the coer. If the ld s lfted, mosture and heat may escape, causng the food to dry out ( or burn. In, addton,loss of heat may ncrease cookng tme. Is the cooker,easy to clean? Some contan remoable nner cook wells and heat-control unts. They can be completely mmersed n water or washed n the dshwasher. Inestgate the control dals. Some slow cookers. hae an", automatc shft n the poston of the control dals that lowers the temperature from hgh heat. Ths shortens cookng tme by brngng the contents to a bol on the hgh settng and then automatcally adjustng to a low settng to contnue cookng. The automatc shft,, s especally helpful on slow cookers that offer an extra hgh heat settng for brownng or deep fat fryng. Turn the temperature dals.to fnd out whether they operate wth stops for each settng. Ths feature helps separate the regular cookngf temperatures from the specal-purpose ones. Does the dal turn-to an off poston or must you unplug the cooker to turn t off? * The nsde of the cooker may, be stoneware, alumnum, s Teflon-coated or,porce!an enamel. Stoneware can be ulnerable to damage from sudden temperature changes or sharp, blows, but retans the natural flaors and juces best. Mneral deposts from water and food stan alumnum.

Ask yourself f you really need brownng, fryng and faster cookng features, whch use more electrcty. Look for the Underwrters Laboratory (UL) seal for proof the product meets safety standards, Examne the guarantee to learn whch parts of the slow cooker are coered and the length of the warranty. Can the cooker be serced locally or must you send t to the factory or serce center for repars? CAUTION WITH ^, SLOW COOKERS Take extra cauton when usng a slow cooker. Food should not reman n the 40 to 40 degree F range longer than four hours because bactera grow at those temperatures. Ths, four-hour perod ncludes preparaton, room temperature storage and cookng tme. You can test your slow cooker by placng a meat thermometer n the center of the food. The temperature should be at least 50 degrees F afterfour hours. Neer nterrupt the cookng cycle. Keep the slow cooker gong contnually. If you turn t off for a whle or frequently remoe the ld, bactera may begn to grow. /Dr. Kenneth Steenson, MSU assstant professor of food scence and human nutrton, ran tests on a medum sze slow cooker. It ndcated they were safe to use for casseroles contanng ground beef. Food remaned n the danger zone (40-40 degrees F) for less than three hours. * t If you are concerned that the. food wll be n the danger zone too long, begn cookng the meat on the range. Then fnsh* cookng t n the slow cooker. Some slow cookers are equpped wth a thermostatc control hang a temperature range from smmer to 400 degrees F. Agan, you should begn cookng the meat at a hjgh temperature and then lower t. These methods are not as conenent as leang the meat -at the lower temperature all day.
