A initiative petition restricting hiring public
employees and allowing private companies to
contract on public sector jobs is drawing fire from
state labor unions.
The initiative, which supporters hope will
appear on the 1984 ballot, would amend the state
constitution to "limit those public employees to
those absolutely necessary and thereby protect
and advance the enterprise resources within the
state ”
Doug Crooks, communications director for the
Oregon Public Employees Union, says the
proposal should be renamed the "government for
sale" petition because it would put state services
up for sale.
"What you end up with is a huge pork barrel,”
he says.
The proposed amendment would increase
government graft because the legislators would
make the decisions on which jobs are contracted
out, Crooks says.
The petition’s proponents, including As
sociated Oregon Industries and the Portland
Correction
The field of candidates for the post of vice
president for administration and finance
has not been narrowed to seven finalists as
was reported in Wednesday’s Emerald,
University Pres. Paul Olum said Wednes
day.
Olum said at his press conference Tues
day that the search committee was to the
point where they were choosing "semi-fin
alists.” The statement was inadvertently
reported as “seven finalists."
The field of semi-finalists for the position
vacated by Ray Hawk won't be narrowed
until the middle of March, Olum said.
Chamber of Commerce, say private companies
could perform state services more efficiently than
government agencies.
"If the services can be done more cost ef
fectively by private enterprise, they should be,”
Crooks says.
By computing cost effectiveness over a long
period, the likelihood of companies dropping
formerly public sector-operated jobs after a cou
ple of years would be reduced, and state start-up
costs would be avoided, Crooks says.
If the petition gathers enough signatures to
go on the 1984 ballot and pass, it will be phased
into effect in 1985. Crooks says as many as four
out of five jobs of non-elected officials could be
contracted out if the bill passes
Donna Glathar, a University Library staff
member and assistant district OPEU director,
says the petition would affect the University
faculty and staff and employees around the state
While she admits there are places at the
University where it might be cost effective to have
services contracted out, Glather says the petition
is not the answer.
Alan Brom, a University custodian and OPEU
member, sys the petition ultimately would raise
the taxpayer's burden and increase service dis
ruptions to students.
Jack Kalinowski, a lobbyist for AOI, a group
supporting the petition, says “that's a typical
reaction of someone who has not read the peti
tion.”
He says the petition would not affect higher
education
The petition would require the government to
identify all expenditures and the Legislature to
grant permission before they could hire new
employees, Kalinowski says
“The important thing to remember is that it
(the petition) doesn't require anything to be
contracted out — except construction," Kalin
owski says.
State employees' fears that they will be laid
off are groundless, he says. "Productivity will be
greater than ever before."

Appeals court
upholds strict
ban on pistols
CHICAGO (AP) - The Illinois
Appellate Court on Wednesday
upheld Norton Grove's strict
year-old ban on handguns, say
ing it was the kind of local con
trol envisioned by the framers of
the state constitution
The decision by the three
judge panel affirms last year's
ruling by Judge Albert Green of
the Cook County Circuit Court,
who found the ban was within
the “reasonable exercise of the
village s police power." The or
dinance also was upheld
recently by the 7th U S. Circuit
Court of Appeals
The ordinance in the northern
Chicago suburb of 26,000 peo
ple took effect Feb. 1, 1982, and
was the nation's first ban on
citizen possession of handguns.
The ordinance has been
challenged by some Morton
Grove residents who contended
it infringed on the rights of in
dividuals to "keep and bear
arms" as guaranteed in the
1970 Illinois constitution
