First party plan vote tonight

56, businesses partner
to fight proposed law

More money: $15,000 available for opposition

31mm

CONTIIDUTMG WRITE!

Student Government voted to
allocate $5,000 to its campaign that
is targeting the Lexington Area
Party Plan in a full senate meeting
Wednesday night.

86 had already allocated
$5,000 to buy posters, stickers and
buttons to fight the plan. All of the
$10,000 came from the UK Student
Government Reserves, what SG
calls its “rainy day fund.”

A coalition of area businesses
raised $5,000 to support SG‘s cam-
paign. bringing the total to $15,000.

The coalition’s donations and
the money voted on Wednesday
will pay for producing and airing
a 3Dsecond commercial, which op
poses the plan.

“What we’ve started is a tradi~
tional grassroots effort, or what I
call a ground efi‘ort. but it's now
time to go to the air," 80 Presi-
dent Tim Robinson said.

The commercial will begin
airing on numerous TV news sta—
tions Friday morning if the plan
passes in the Urban County Coun-
cil meeting tonight. Robinson esti—
mates that the commercial will be
viewed between eight and 12 times
by Lexington residents over the

course of the next week. The coun~
cil will vote again Dec. 13.

"You will not be able to turn
on the TV without seeing this
thing." Robinson said. If the plan
does not pass tonight, plans to air
the commercial will be canceled.

While the additional funding
proposal passed in the Senate
meeting. there was some opposi-
tion to granting the extra funds —
the Senate voted 154-1.

Senator-at-iarge David
Hutchinson and Graduate School
Senator Laura Schmidt voted
against the proposal. Schmidt said
too much money is being spent on
the campaign and the funds could
be used for other programs.

“I am against the party plan
as it’s unconstitutional," Hutchin-
son said. “But this is saturation,
not exposure. Saturation is not go
ing to affect council votes."

Senate Coordinator Lesli Prof-
fitt said she found some of the re
marks made by Senate Chairman
Edwin Orange and Robinson to
dissenting senators to be “arro-
gant, rude and uncalled for.”

“I'm happy the proposal to
fight the plan passed but my heart
will remain heavy because of the
way senators were treated," Prof-
fitt said.

STAFF WRITER

The Lexington Area Par-
ty Plan has dominated recent
discussions, and Wednesday’s
Town & Gown Commission
meeting was no different.

The commission, which
includes representatives from
UK, Transylvania University
and Lexington communities.
discussed concerns about the
proposal.

At issue was an unclear
statement published in
Wednesday‘s Kernel.

A statement regarding
the caps that can be placed on
Lexington properties was con-
fusing.

A cap can only be placed
on a property after com-
plaints lead to two incidents
that require police action.

“(A property could re
ceive) 25 complaints, and it
wouldn‘t mean a thing," said
Dr. David Stevens. an Urban
County Council member-at-
large, who was present at the
meeting.

“It takes two police ac-
tions."

Police actions would in-

 

 

Police action required

be placed

Councilman: Students can fight citations

clude citations or arrests,
Stevens said.

But a citation isn‘t final.

Police actions can be
challenged under normal pro-
cedures in district court if
residents choose to contest
them, Stevens said.

The Lexington Area Par-
ty Plan is to be heard for the
first time before the full Ur-
ban County Council at
tonight‘s meeting.

If the proposal is passed
after its first reading. it must
then be voted on again by the
council after a second reading
before it can become a city or-
dinance.

But while most people
would believe the second
reading requires another
meeting. Stevens said that is
not so.

The second reading could
be done tonight, but it re
quires that a motion be made
to suspend the rules and pro-
ceed with the reading.

The motion would need
10 votes, but Stevens said he
doesn’t think that intent ex-
ists.

“I wouldn‘t vote for it,"
Stevens said.

“There are a lot of family

he said. “They’re concerned

Taitano said the plan has

Convict suspected of anthrax hoaxes

letters to abortion clinics was captured Wednes
day at a copy shop outside Cincinnati after enr

Clayton Lee Waagner who once testified that
God told him to kill abortion doctors was one
of the FBI's 10 most-wanted fugitives. He has
been on the run since February. when he escaped
from a jail in Clinton. Ill. Attorney General John
Ashcroft called Waagner the primary suspect he;
hind anthrax hoaxes committed against 280 clin-
ics last month. The clinics received envelopes
containing white powder and letters signed by
the “Army of God.” The powder was not anthrax.
