Cottage Grove Retrospective
A look back at Sentinel stories from 30 and 60 years ago
A key to the success of the 11-member
committee, which will include legisla-
tive leaders and the governor's appointees,
would be in not trying to fi nd a one cure-
all solution to school fi nancing, he said. His
appointees to the committee will be selected
to ensure they will not consider a sales tax
proposal, he said.
The goals of the committee would be to
stabilize local school funding, have a posi-
tive effect on property taxes and work with-
in the existing tax system, he said.
Sales tax not in plans
July 29, 1987
Governor Neil Goldschmidt's plans for
increasing state support for public schools
do not include a sales tax, the governor said
here last week.
Goldschmidt discussed school support,
the escape of Diane Downs, the Iran-Con-
tra affair-which he referred to as a "clown
school"--and other issues at a press confer-
ence during a visit to Cottage Grove Friday.
During the last legislative session, the
safety-net plan to prevent school closures
and the addition of a $30 million over the
next two years for state school support were
among the major contributions of his ad-
ministration and the legislature in improv-
ing school fi nancing, he said.
The next step will be the creation of a
school fi nance committee to make two or
three moderate proposals for aiding school
districts, he said.
"Where we don't go from here is another
sales tax proposal," he said.
Golf carts damaged, two arrested
July 29, 1987

damaged several golf carts at Hidden Valley

Fix, both 18 were arrested in connection
with the incident that caused an estimated
$1,100 in damage to fi ve gold carts.
POLICE BLOTTER
Police received a report early Saturday
morning of a theft of a cart from the course.
At the scene, police questioned and then ar-
rested McKillop. Investigation led to the ar-
rest of Fix who was arrested Monday during
