GOV. MAY OFFER NEXT TAX PLAN IN LEGISLATURE
4
Milliken plans new
LANSING (UPI) - Gov. William Milliken said
yesterday a short "cooling off" period is needed
before reconsidering the property tax issue, and
suggested new action be made by the Legislature
rather than through a ballot proposal.
In an afternoon news conference, Milliken said he
was uncertain what steps should be taken following
the resounding defeat Tuesday of Proposal A but
agreed with lawmakers that it is too late for any ac-
tion affecting this year's summer property tax bills.
"I'M IN NO hurry now," he said, noting the
economy and Detroit's fiscal troubles now have a
higher priority. "The people have had their chance
and have reminded us they're not fascinated with
property taxes."
"An immediate cooling off period is needed and
maybe we'll decide not to go back to it at all," said
Milliken, who earlier had met with legislative leaders
to begin plotting future strategy.
The governor said he is uncertain what new
position he will take on property tax reform. "We
need to assess and reassess," he said.
THE NEXT MOVE may be to let the legislature
enact whatever property tax reforms and cuts it can,
the governor said. No plans have yet been made for
the $165 million set aside to enact Proposal A in the
fiscal 1981-82 budget.
Milliken said voters often in the past have rejected
tax reform measures, an indication "we'd better try
to resolve these problems here."

Although "disappointed" by the tax plan's three-
-one defeat; Milliken said he still believed the
'oposal was a good one.
WHEN ASKED about the unsuccessful attempt to
eet with Shiawassee County Drain Commissioner
obert Tisch, who was prominent in the opposition to
roposal A, Milliken said "let me restrain myself."
The governor said he had altered his schedule to
eet privately with Tisch, but said the tax cutter
wanted a circus, he wanted a press conference, he
anted a show."
"I was angered by the approach he used," said the
ually reserved Milliken.
Earlier, legislative leaders said it appears too late
enact any tax reforms before homeowners receive
eir summer bills.

T.V. Emmy's
NEW YORK (AP) - "General
Hospital," network TV's top-rated soap
opera, was honored as the season's out-
standing daytime serial during
nationally televised Daytime Emmy
Award ceremonies Thursday.
The ABC soap received three Em-
mys, including awards for supporting
actress and direction, more than any
other single program.
ABC won seven Emmys, CBS five,
syndicated shows four, NBC three and
the Public Broadcasting Service two, as
the awards program ran a half-hour
longer than scheduled.
In addition, the National Academy of
Television Arts and Sciences presented
its Trustees' Award to Agnes Nixon,
creater of two of the longest-running
soap operas,, "One Life to Live" and
"All My Children," both on ABC.
Nixon explained her formula for a
successful soap opera with a
paraphrase of Charles Dickens.
"MAKE 'EM LAUGH, make 'em cry
and make 'em wait," she said.
Nixon has been creator or head
writer at one time or another for "One
Life to Live," "Search for Tomorrow,"
"As the World Turns," "The Guiding
Light," "Another World" and "All My
Children."
She is to daytime television what
Norman Lear is to prime time - an in-
troducer to the tube of such controver-
sial subjects as wife beating, child
prostitution, pap smears, divorce and
abortion.
Her present show, "All My
Children," won two of the 21 coveted
statuettes handed out for daytime
television.
Hugh Downs, who also anchors ABC's
"20-20" news magazine, upset
Donahue, taking an Emmy for his PBS
talkshow "Over Easy,"
