Economist predicts low state revenues; budget cut possible

 

Staff, wire reports

 

l-RANKFORT. Ky. — State offi-
cials yesterday heard potentially
dismal revenue forecasts for this
fiscal year and raised the possibility
of a special legislative session to
deal with budget shortfalls.

Gov. Jones
considers
health-care
proposals

 

Associated Press

 

FRANKFURT. Ky. —— (iov.
Brereton Jones is reviewing propo-
sals for curbing health care costs.
including one that would create a
state commission that would be in
charge of all health planning and
regulation.

The three-member commission
would he able to set rates if the
govemor declared an emergency
because costs exceeded limits set
by the state. The (‘ourier-Joumal
reported Thursday.

The newspaper obtained a draft
document on Jones‘ health-care
plans. which sets out the details of
the commission. The document out—
lines other measures that have been
considered. but it could not be de-
termined whether they had been
adopted as part of Jones' plan.

Jones wants to hold a special
General Assembly session in No-
vember on health care. llis propo-
sals are expected to be unveiled
next week before a panel of legisla-
tors and gubematorial advisers.

Human Resources Secretary Leo-
nard lleller said several draft docu-
ments have been circulating among
members of a small group that is
working on Jones‘ plan.

He said that the document the
newspaper obtained was not the fi«
nal version of the plan and that sev-
eral of the proposals had been dis-
carded.

lleller declined to say which pro-
posals had been adopted for the fi-
nal plan, saying Jones has “several
options he wants to consider" be-
fore announcing the details next
week. However, it is known that
the new health commission will be
included in Jones‘ proposals.

The draft document outlines oth-
er duties of the commission. such
as licensing health-care profes-
sions. collecting health-care infor-
tnation. and regulating health-care
construction and expenditures —
the last of which was formerly
known as the certificate—of—need
process. These duties are currently
handled by an assortment of state
agencies and commissions.

Jones wzmts to hold a special
General Assembly session in No-
vember on health care. llis propo-
sals are expected to be unveiled
next week before a panel of legisla-
tors and gubcmatorial advisers.

The draft document outlined sev-
eral other proposals. some of which
Jones has already suggested. It is
not known which ones. if any. will
be part of his proposal. They in-
clude:

-A state-subsidized “basic plan
of health insurance" that would be
available next July. The state would
pay for insurance for people who
were eligible and also living under
the federal poverty line. Another
group of people. those whose in-
comes were less than twice the pov-
erty level, would pay a ponion of
the premium. with the state paying
the rest.

0A requirement that employers
provide the basic plan for all em-
ployees by mid-1995. Jones has
previously suggested requiring
some employers to provide insu-
rance. based on the number of
hours worked. But he has not called
for requiring all employers to pro-
vide insurance.

ures. such as eliminating unneces-
sary medical procedures and re-

The last two times the state faced
revenue shortfalls. budget cuts of
$15.2 million and Sll.5 million
were levied against l'K.

'l‘rzutsylvania University econo-
mist Mary Lynch told the interim
Appropriations and Revenue (‘om—
mittee that (ieneral Fund receipts
this year will be $4.5 billion. That

sum is about $79 million less than
the state needs to meet its official
revenue needs. and it does not take
into account the fact that another
$106 million would be needed to
catch tip with income tax refunds
that were held over to make last
year's budget balance.

“We're really talking about $185

million if we catch up on all the re-
funds." Lynch told the legislators.
Finance Secretary Joe l’rather
said revenue receipts for July. Au-
gust and September will be exam-
ined closely. if it appears a shortfall
is likely this fiscal year. Prather
said he will recommend (iov.
Brerclon Jones call a special ses-

sion of the legislature to deal with
the budget problems.

UK President (‘harles Wething-
ton said last night that he heard
nothing official about :ut impending
budget cut. “But any t'ui‘thci' hlltiL‘ki
cuts would be seriously daimgiiig'
for the l’niversity of Kentucky." hc
said.

(‘harles Haywood. a UK econo—
mist. said it is possible the state
could see the 7.6 percent revenue
increase needed this year to catch
up refunds and meet spending re»
tittiicinctits

“that‘s high, but it isn‘t out of
icath. it isn‘t really out of the ques-
tion." Haywood said.

Keeping pets not always good choice for college students

 

By Steve Olshewsky
Contributing Writer

 

Students need to make a choice
between college life and family
pets. local llumzme Society officials
say.

Nancy Victor. shelter director of
the WiXidford (‘ounty Humane So-
ciety. said pcts can develop behav»
ior problems without rigid sched-
ules of walking and feeding. But
this is difficult for students. who of~
ten have irregular schedules that
differ from day to day.

In some cases. students don‘t
have an option when it comes to
pets — they‘re not allowed in carn-
pus residence halls. unless the pets
are fish in a 20 gallon tank or small-
er. said Bob Clay, director of resi-
dence life.

“If a cat can stay underwater 20
minutes (using scuba equipment) it
can stay," said Blanding Tower res-

idcticc hall advisor Kathy Taulbce.

Stipply and demand factors also
czut prohibit off-campus students
frorn owning pets. lf apartments are
scarce. as they often are around
crunpus during school. landlords
can refuse to rent to students with
pets. said Pam (iabbard. manager of
the Aptlf'llllt'lll AZ Home locating
Service.

"Nine out of 10 times.
(limdlowners around campus
just stick a sign in the yard and no
matter how bad it is. somebody is
going to have to live there." she
said.

Students plzuining to set up house
along with the creature comforts of
pet ownership may have to give up
the convenience of living on carn-
pus. Aparuncnts that do allow pets
are listed with the Locating Service.
but this time of year they are as far
away as New (Tircle Road and be-
yond.

 

“Nine out of 10 times, (land)owners around
campus just stick a sign in the yard, and no
matter how bad it is, somebody is going to have

to live there,”

Pam Gabbard,

Manager of the Apartment 8. Home Locating Service.

 

i'nwantcd pets also pose a prob-
lem. because students sometimes
find they can no longer care for
their pets. But Victor said many stu-
dents don‘t realize that putting an
animal up for adoption is not a solu-
tiort to the problems of unwanted
pets.

Most animal shelters have a
placement rate of oiily 20 percent.
Victor said. This leaves means

Paint-recycling project success,
none left for second distribution

 

By Angie Bird
Contributing Writer

 

'lbe 2.500 gallons of old paint
collected in a recycling project at
UK this summer may be just a drop
in the bucket.

Because the paint was collected
only froin Fayette (‘ounty residents
and businesses were not asked to
contribute. UK student laura
lleege said there is probably “a lot
more paint out there."

The recycling effort was so suc-
cessful. plans are underway to re-

peat the project again next year.

“The response was great," said
lleege, who participated in the col-
lection efforts. “People said we
should have them all the time."

The idea for the Household Paint
Recycling Day started as a class
project in a solid waste manage-
ment class, said Cynthia Ridell, a
natural resources senior.

She said the idea was chosen be-
cause “discarded paint can contami—
nate water supplies. especially if
there is more than one inch of paittt
in the base of the can.“

Approximately 2.500 gallons of

both latex and oil based paints were
donated during the paint collection,
which was held July ll at (‘om-
monwealth Stadium.

Several colors were mixed from
the usable paint and distributed
Aug. ll at the UK surplus sotrage
area to non-profit organizations and
individuals who wished to receive
ll.

A larger—than-expccted number
of people showed up to receive the
paint. and it was all given away on
the first of two days set aside to dis-
tribute it.

MIAMI —— A twin-engine plane
carrying food, water and diapers to
hurricane victims crashed into the

President Bush and Democrat
Bill Clinton mocked each oth-
er’s tax proposals yesterday as
Bush hunted for swing votes in
the Midwest and Clinton began
a Texas bus caravan. Republi-
cans took out ads along Clin-
ton’s route accusing him of be-
ing "in the back pocket” of trial
lawyers.

While beth presidential candi-
dates focused on economic
themes, a new Associated Press
poll conducted just after last
week‘s Republican convention
showed Americans more likely
to prefer Democrats when it
comes to the economy, educa-
tion and their own futures.

Bush, at a campaign stop in
St. Louis, acoused Clinton of ad
vancing protectionist trade poli-
cies. Clinton told a San Antonio.
Texas, rally that Bush‘s tax poli-
cies would benefit only the rich.

"This administration‘s sole
obsession is keeping taxes low
on the wealthiest Americans,"
Clinton said as he teamed up
with running mate Al Gore for
one more bush tour, their fourth.

While Clinton and Gore
worked Bush's adopted home.

Bush, Clinton mock
each other’ s tax plans

As he campaigned in Texas,
Clinton promised to revive the
nation’s lagging economy and
ridiculed Bush's promise of a
broad tax cut if he wins a sec-
ond term.

Clinton said that Congress
had passed legislation providing
modest middle class tax relief as
well as incentives for American
businesses but that Bush had ve-
toed it because it raised taxes on
millionaires.

”Congress gave him a bill and
he jumped in the tank for his
wealthy friends." Clinton told
his San Antonio audience, most~
ly made up of blue-collar work-
ers.

The BushQuayle ezunpaign
began running newspaper ads in
Texas cities along the roate of
Clinton‘s latest bus tour con-
tending the nation’s trial law-
yers were attempting a “takeo-
ver of the White House."

The centerpiece of the ads is a
recent letter from Arkansas
Trial Lawyers Association Pres-
ident David H. Williams urging
fellow trial lawyers to “dig
down deep and give to Bill Clin‘
ton” and boasting of influence
with the Democratic nominee.

turf, the president campaigned in
Missouri and Ohio —— two states
he narrowly carried in 1988 and
which are now regarded as key
battlegrounds by both sides.

After touring a factory in St.
Louis that makes police sirens,
many of which are sold lntema-
tionally, Bush accused Clinton
of wanting to tax foreign invest-
ment and waffling on support
for expanded trade with Mexico.

“Gov. Clinton hopes to ex.
ploit the darker impulses of this
uncertain age, fear of the future,
fear of the unknown, tear of for.
eigners,” Bush said. “I know his
reputation for opportunism .
the kind of guy who will do any-
thing or say anything for politi-
cal gain.”

“I guess as a candidate you
can be on both sides of every
question,” Bush said. “As prcsi»
dent, you can’t."

Clinton has proposed that for-
eign-owned companies pay tax-
es on profits made from their
US. operations, contending it
would put them on an even foot-
ing with all-U.S. companies.

Clinton said Bush’s attack on
his proposal was “ridiculous.”

“I don’t think American com-
panies should pay more of their
income in taxes than foreign
companies who do the same
business here. All I want is fair-
ncss.”

In Washington, Vice Presi-
dent Dan Quayle made a similar
claim. “I know where the trial
lawyers" money goes. They
know that they‘ve got influence
and absolute control of Bill
Clinton,” he. said.

Clinton’s response: “If ever
an administration has been in
the pocket of special interests, it
is Bush and Quayle.”

The new AP survey suggests
Democrats retain astrong parti—
sari advantage on issues that cut
close to home. T hat’s particular-
ly true among women _. a po—
tential electoral gold mine that
Clinton is making new efforts to
tap.

The poll, conducted last Fri-
day thrOugh Tuesday after the
close of the Republican Nation-

rowing gap between Democrats
and the GOP since an AP poll

A new recycling program began
this fall for all students living in
UK residence balls.

The idea for the program origi-
nated last fall. when students asked
members of the Residence Hall As-
sociation and Residence Hall Gov-
ernment why there wasn‘t a recy-
cling program in campus housing.

RIIA polled studean last semes—
ter and found that the students
wanted a recycling program and
would pay $2 a semester to subsi-
dize one.

The program recycles aluminum
cans, newspapers. plastic contain-
ers and white paper and computer
paper. Four collection containers
are provided to keep the materials
separate.

“The way that the (program)
works is that the students just take
their trash and put it in whichev-
er respective container it belongs
in." said Tracy Diamond. chair-
woman of the new student recy-
cling committee. “llousing goes to
that container and empties it every-
day."

In an attempt to make the pro.
gram easier for students. the recy-
cling bins will be placed on individ-
ual floors in some residence halls
and in the lobby when bins are not
available for the floors.

“The recycling program was
done on a test basis in Blazer Hall
for this summer. It seemed to go
real well." said Ron Dennis, assist-
ant director of housing.

The program should be in full
swing by mid-September.

Sword-wielding demonstrators in

downtown Baghdad shouted
“Down with Bush! Down with Im-
perialism!" during a moniing

protest march several hours before
the ban took effect.

Demonstrators were bused to the
affluent Mansour district where
they gathered outside the Intenta-
tional liair building. One biutuer
said in linglish: “We will fight back
with or without blood.”

sition factions. Claimed Iraqi troops

Saddam's rubber-stamp l’arlia»
mcrit called in a statement for "firm
action Show no lciiicncy‘ toward
this plot which is designed to dis-
member Iraq and split it along sec-
tariim and ethnic lines."

Saudi Arabia. Syria and ligy'pt.
key Arab members of the (hill War
coalition. have expressed inisgivu
iiigs about the new US, move.

Saudi Arabia has agreed to allow
planes enforcing the ban to bc

based in the country. But judging
from the cool reaction to the him in
the Arab world. it appeared unlikely
any Arab parmers in last year's coa-
lition would participated in the sur-
yetllaiice.

'lhc allies last year established a
sate haven for the Kurdish minority
in northern Iraq. 'Ilic Kurds have
since procliumed their autonomy
froin Baghdad.

The main Arab fear is that the
ban on Iraqi flights will lead to a de
facto panitioii of the nation into
three religious and ethnic states —
a Kurdish north. a Shiite south aitd
a central area around Baghdad dom-
inated by Smith Muslims.

A Shiite statelct in the south. it is
tcarcd. could fall under the influ-
ence of Iran and help spread the
Shiite brand of lsltun among the
prcdoiiiiiiiuitly Sunni Muslim coun-
trics of the Persian (lull.

Some believe it could set a prece-
dent that would encourage ethnic
and religious minorities elsewhere
in the region to press for autonomy.

Iraqi Shiite leaders have insisted
that they have no plants to establish
a separate. fuiidiunciitalist state.
