I age.
i More state money is going
into basic school support, in
directly relieving local pro
perty taxes. The state also
now has funds earmarked to
insure student loans, Com-
munity colleges, while being
curbed in areas where class
room space is lacking, will
get more state money and
concentrate more on vocation
al training. The latter is true
partly because of passage of
the new apprenticeship law
this session.
Oregon now will have a
medical assistance program,
supplemented with federal
funds, for needy persons not
covered by medicare. More
public funds will go to help
welfare recipients, blind per
sons and those with other
handicaps. Special education
prorams will be able to hire
“work experience coordinat
ors” for training mentally re
tarded persons. Aid to depend
ent children is extended
cover dependents in school to
age 21.
In daily life, citizens will
have added protection against
harrassing or threatening tel
ephone calls. “Fresh” foods
which have been pre-frozen
must be so labeled in markets.
Unpastuerized beer to go may
be sold by Class A taverns if
sealed in brewery containers.
Campers are subject to trail
er house sanitary laws in
camping areas.
These are but a handful of
new Oregon law develop
ments. Many are no doubt
controversial, and in total
they help represent the near
ly 20 percent increase in the
next biennium budget.
Are the services worth the
cost of government? Holding
the lid on state expenditures
is getting increasingly diffi
cult, many observers of the
Salem Scene agree, particu
larly with federal dollar-
matching programs becoming
more available to states. In
the final analysis, they say, it
is an informed public, casting
responsible votes, which is
directly responsible for state
services—and for holding the
public nurse-strings.
