challenging the boards
authority.
Hillegonds said that the
authority to transfer funds by the
governor and the board was
given by a 1975 attorney
general's opinion. The State Ad
ministrative Board was created
by legislation in 1921.
. "The issues raised in the
, Democratic Law uit are political
questions that must be re olved
by the Legislature, not the
courts," he said.
GUY GORDON, Senate
Republican spokesman, also said
that the Democrats challenge is
not an i sue for the courts, but an
issue for the Legislature to
decided since it wa the legisla
ture who gave the power to the
board when it was created.
While Republicans may be be
hind the governor as far at the
law ui t, it doe not mean the ap
prove of the-the governor and
the Administrative Board having.

Peller aid imilar cuts in the

Gordon aid Senate Majority
Leader Dick Posthumus, R-Alto,
does not feel comfortable con
cerning the board' authority and
that Posthumus would support
legislation taking away som of
those powers.
Both Hillegorids and Gordon
said that one reason for the law
suit was Dodak's inability to
keep his caucus together and
provide a positive alternative to
the governor's plans.
Gordon said that the onl y
thing uniting the Democratic
caucus i their effort to drag out
budget negotiations and cause
chaos. He said that Gov. Engler
took action through the Ad
ministrative Board because he
could no longer wait for a budget
compromise.
Hillegonds said while
Democrats are united against
Gov. Engler, they are divided on
any al,ternative plans to solve the
state's budget woes.
Meanwhile, on the other side
of battle, Dodak said that his
caucus is "u-nited as it' ever
been."
Ed Risch, director of the center.
The center actually received an
increase in the block grant funds
it receives. These fund are fil
tered down from the federal
government.
The center sells used clothing,
has an emergency food pantry,
and helps with helter and utility
payment for people in need, as
well as providing other service .
DESPITE THE increased
federal funding, state budget
cuts still may have ome impact,
Risch said.·
"It would affect u indirectly
in that we'd have an increa e in
the number of people looking for
help for rent a sistanee and for
food," Ri ch said.
Risch aid that is partly due to
cuts in general as istance. He
aid the center h helped more
people 0 far thi year than in tbe

"Each driver (delivery per

Michigan Department of

She said the system is not in

the numbers do show a dis

She said there probably will
