The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, July 30, 1980-Page 13 Milliken sets stage for tax - cut battle with Tisch backers LANSING (UPI) - Gov. William: Milliken began at a bill-signing ceremony yesterday what he hopes will be a bipartisan fall offensive to woo voters away from the Tisch tax-cut proposal with his own more moderate reform plan. Milliken, flanked by legislative leaders and other officials, called the signing of nine bills which accompany the $800 million tax shift plan "the beginning of a major effort to carry the story of his proposal to the people of Michigan." THE TAX shift, developed during weeks of tedious legislative negotiations, cuts property taxes by an average of $350 per homeowner, while making up lost revenues by raising the sales tax from four per cent to 5.5 per cent. It was placed on the fall ballot by legislative action and the bills signed by Milliken will take effect only if it is adopted. The Tisch proposal would slash property taxes in half while making a compensating tax hike extremely dif- ficult. Author Shiawassee County Drain Commissioner Robert Tisch and his supporters filed petitions to place their plan on the ballot. THE THIRD, so-called Smith-Bullard plan, also supported by a petition drive, would slash property taxes while providing for an income tax hike. Among those attending the session were House Speaker Bobby Crim, Senate Republican Leader Robert Van- derLaan of Kentwood, state school Daily Classifieds (Continued from Page 12) USED CARS '68 vOLVo.

Crim predicted yesterday it will take a "minor miracle" for the legislature to complete the 1980-81 budget by the start of the fiscal year Oct. 1. BUT AIDES TO Milliken said the legislature's failure to approve spen- ding would "make everything more dif- ficult." "It'll be extremely difficult coming right before an election," the speaker said. "Everyone has an area they want to protect while cutting somebody else's area. It's hard to tell people the money isn't there." Crim predicted the legislature will approve several major appropriations bills, such as those for education and social services, while passing resolutions continuing present funding of other areas. The Senate last month approved several appropriations measures. But bleak revenue projections' have forced state budget officials to begin work on a revised, skeleton budget. Since Michigan's fiscal year begins Oct. 1, legislative leaders chose to skip AP Pho the traditional June budget haggling GOV.

THE BILL WAS the key measure in a package which Milliken said the anti-strike penalties were not strong would have granted teachers and local government workers enough and opposed extending binding arbitration.

William Milliken signed into law yesterday his plan to temporarily kick off welfare roles able-bodied recipients who refuse to work or take job training courses. Currently, those begging out of work projects are cut off for 30 days but there is no general penalty for refusing em- ployment. BUDGET PLANNERS hope the bill will save $3 million to $9 million per year, but it will not take effect until a separate measure cracking down on Medicaid fraud is approved.

The impact of the bill was softened considerably by an amendment exem- pting those who refuse work for "good cause" including lengthy commuting.
