Italian gov't develops new
plan to boost economy

Growth package
awaits approval
from Italian
Parliament
MILAN (AP) - Premier
Mario Monti said yesterday his
government of technocrats has
approved a package of auster-
ity and growth measures worth
euro30 billion ($40.53 billion) to
"reawaken" the Italian economy
and help save the euro common
currency from collapse.
The measures include immedi-
ate cuts to the costs of maintain-
ing Italy's bulky political class
as well as significant measures
to fight tax evasion, Monti told
a news conference following a

three-hour Cabinet meeting.
As part of the political cost
cuts, Monti said he would fore-
go his salaries as premier and
finance minister - a move he said
was a personal decision and not
meant as an example for other
ministers in the government,
which was formed 2 1/2 weeks
ago after Premier Silvio Berlus-
coni's resignation under market
and political pressure.
The package also includes
measures to spur growth and
competition, while aiming to
stamp out rampant nepotism. But
it also raises the retirement age
and the number of years of ser-
vice to qualify for a full pension,
steps strongly opposed by unions,
and imposes new taxes on Ital-
ians' private wealth, including
their homes, boats and luxury

cars, measures that conservatives
have protested.
"We gave alotofweightto fair-
ness, we had to distribute some of
the sacrifices but we took a lot of
care to distribute them in a fair
way," Monti said.
Monti will outline the mea-
sures today in addresses to both
houses of Parliament, which must
approve them. Monti said he will
appeal to lawmakers' sense of
responsibility.
The Berlusconi government
stepped down due to its failure
to get tough measures through
a fractious Parliament, which
remains intact, meaning fault
lines could easily reopen.
"A lot depends on how well
or not we explain to the citizens
what we are trying to do," Monti
said.

DETROIT
From Page 1A
Day, a service event that usu-
ally draws more than 1,000 stu-
dent volunteers to Detroit.
Albert Rush, pastor of the
church, said the One Stop Shop
program has a different focus
than many other charities, and
one of its main goals is to provide
the disadvantaged with neces-
sities such as clothing and food,
while upholding their dignity
and honor.
"What we want people to dois
when they walk out the door, to
know that somebody cares about
them," Rush said. "We think
we're volunteering for them, but
it gives us a chance to show our
humanity."
According to Rush, the Detroit

partnership and church have
been collecting food and clothes
for the event in both Ann Arbor
and Brightmoor since August.
"We want people to get good
quality stuff," Rush said, "Not
just stuff that's thrown there,
and depending on how much
inventory we have, (beneficia-
ries) can get as much as (they)
want."
Rush said the program
expected to serve about 200
people throughout the day. He
added that the tough economy
had increased demand for their
services and decreased contribu-
tions this year.
LSA senior Cassie Basler,
executive director of the Detroit
Partnership, said the program
impacts both the students and
beneficiaries involved.
"What I thought was really

moving was how honest people
were about the life experiences
they've had," Basler said. "People
come in with newborn kids, and
they don't even have a stroller."
Basler said the collection pro-
cess in Ann Arbor typically picks
up around Halloween, when
the partnership trick-or-treats
for canned food and non-per-
ishables. Later in the semester,
the group sets out colored boxes
around campus in which stu-
dents can donate clothes.
Linda Fulgham, a beneficiary
of the program, said students
were hospitable, and she felt at
home shopping at the church.
"Everything's been great,
everything's been helpful, every-
thing's been beautiful and it's
good to give to the ones that
need," Fulgham said. "Puts a lot
of smiles on faces."

about 400 supporters. Cain's announcement provides
Cain's announcement came a new twist in what has already

been a volatile Republican race.
Former House Speaker NewtGin-
grich has, so far, been the biggest
beneficiary of Cain's precipitous
slide. Polls show Gingrich and
former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt
Romney atop the field in what
is shaping up as a two-man race
heading into earlyvotingstates.
But others, such as Texas Gov.
Rick Perry and Minnesota Rep.
Michele Bachmann, will likely
make a strong play for Cain's anti-
establishment tea party backing
as they look to rise as a viable
alternative to Romney, whose
conservative credentials are sus-
pect in some GOP circles.
Cain said he would offer an
endorsement, and his former
rivals were quick to issue state-
ments on Saturday praising his
conservative ideals and grass-
roots appeal.
At a tea party rally in Staten
Island, Gingrich praised Cain for
bringing optimism and big ideas
to the race.
"He had the courage to launch
the 9-9-9 plan, which, whether
you liked it or disliked it, was a
big idea and started to elevate
the debate toward big solutions
and not the usual nitpicking,
consultant-driven negativity,"
Gingrich said.
