NOBLIA Most recently, the Con- ference issued its first polit- ical statement, asking the governor and legislature to seek "humane alternatives to the proposed 1992 budget cuts, affecting so many thousands of individuals, families and children in areas essential to their well- being and to the over-all well-being of the State of Michigan and work to restore funding to vital health and welfare pro- grams." The statement anticipates that government cuts will force many agencies, in- cluding Jewish social service agencies like Jewish Voca- tional Service, Kadima residential care services for Jewish adults with mental illness and JARC, to cut their budgets. In April, the Conference and Gov. John Engler's of- fice attracted nearly 300 guests at a Holocaust memorial program at the Michigan Historical Muse- um in Lansing. Ms. Nessel has been meeting with represent- atives from the various cities, facilitating com- munication between them. "We are progressing as planned. We are bringing together the leaders of the state," Ms. Nessel said. "We need to take things one step at a time and do them right."
