"I think they got to be more aggressive and going af- ter money - it's there. Milli- ken sure is distributing it the way he wants," she claimed. Tulloch said that he thought the t the only way for more money could come into the sys- tem was through an additional mir:,ge tax, which he favored. lie paid he did not approve of seeking additional state and fede al aid because it would subject Ann Arbor to outside control. Other candidates hope to finJ additionalresources within th, budget itself. Spitt, who hot a Ph. D. in economics, says. "there's always some fat around in a budget. I'd like to ltwk at the books and see where we can save on some itens" 'When 1 go to a meeting or a conference," Spitz added, "I pas for it. t'd like to see if sime of the board members are paing out of their pockets for the conferences they attend." 'id also like to see where the mosey we have is being itested," he said. "Sometimes we can make more money by more careful planning." 'Ann Arbor taxpayers are p, ring 35.5 mills (per proper- i tax dollar) right now," K.theen Dannemiller noted. however, few candidates had very concrete ideas about wii they would do with a giv- er budget. Though he has been a board member for three years and claims that the boird "is now at a point where ie can't add on any more pro' grams," Weinhold would not spacify what constitutes the "fringe areas" that he feels could be cut. "It's difficult to fish them out," he admitted. Dannemiller protested that candidates who had not "sat on the board for three years as Weinhold and Martin have" end up sounding rather unknowl- edgeable about the budget. "It's easy to raise broad things but very difficult to come up with a strategy," she confess- ed. Blue and Jahn, though, did have a common idea they thought could save money -- to have administrators do some teaching. "They (the adminis- trators) don't have tenure as administrators, they have ten- ure as teachers," Blue com- mented. "So we can maake ad- justments by putting adminis- trators into the classroom and as people retire and leave, fill these places with administra- tors." Jahn was more critical of the utility of administrators. "I see too damn many ad- ministrators who don't provide the productivity that we're pay- ing for. I'm talking about ad- ministrators not only within given schools, but I'm also talk- ing about the central office of S B S R C B E 764-0558 administration.
