FACiE 20 » LAINUK \I,I H v\ KDNKSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6.1978 about $80 mrilion per year to help pay back the federal system and get the state out of debt Illinois has some of the most liberal qualifications for payment of unemployment compensation, with the thirteen weeks of federal compensation readily available on top of the twentv-six weeks of state benefits. Neal said He noted that there are minor penalties of waiting for those who quit their jobs without cause, and that weekly payments to those with families would rise this year from $135 to $161 With these loopholes the state is not going to be able to preserve the $80 million needed for repayment to the federal system Neal warned, too, that public agencies such as park districts and municipalities that hired summer help would be subject to unemployment claims because of the lowered eligibility He pointed . out businesses were being penalized because not all the units of local government were including their workers under unemployment compensation The resulting additional charges imposed by the federal government on private business added up to $162 per employee. Neal noted And he continued, with the amend­ ments the Senate was trying to tack on the unemployment compensation bill in the closing session, the resulting $80 million for debt retirement raised by these charges would have been reduced by $35 million in payouts * About the bill, which is still pending, Neal claimed that they hope to take out the ef fective date of Jan 1, 1979, but noted it will still drain the repayment fund and give some token relief to business Although the conference committee hasn't met yet. in its present form the bill with the Senate amendments "could be decent, save some money on restricting the abuses of unemployment compensation.

Neal spoke about another little known "fourth branch of government", regulators who become legislators by promulgating rules and regulations which have the force of law He said there is now a permanent joint legislative committee on legislative rules which can review former enactments and preview new legislation and in effect provide a "veto" by a negative recommendation to the legislature So far there has been no legislation vetoed by the legislature Neal advised of an im­ provement in the paperwork situation for business by a new law consolidating a number of formerly required forms into one master form furnishing certain basic information which is distributed to all agencies needing it If any agency wants more in­ formation it must ask the business for a supplemental submission About sales tax, Neal said that new legislation provides limited exemption for materials or equipment used in the manufacture of personal property starting at one and one-quarter percent effective Jan 1 Increases in exemption would be phased over six years, he said This would also phase out local taxes on the same materials unless the local governments would act to maintain the tax Neal said there is a drive to stabilize the Illinois economy by keeping industry here It was estimated that by 1990 the state would need one million new jobs just to keep at the 5 percent jobless rate, and even more if the rate is to be reduced to 4 percent The problem is the cost of doing business in Illinois, much of it due to legislation passed in 1975 when the Democrats first gained control of :he legislature, Neal said Bills were passed that increased union requested SOFT • WATER RENTAL No installation charge NEW fully automatic softeners TWO year option to buy with FULL rental fee deducted ONE phone call can answer any questions »675 AN 8 AND $050 per month RENT Ai_ PHONE 312-259-3393 SOFT Rent-a-Soft, a division of the Arlington Soft Water Company, Arlington Heights, Illinois 60004 Serving McHenry Area Timber Creek Farms and Nurseries 12608 Charles Road Woodstock, 111. •Corner of Rt. 47 and Charles Rd. 1 mile north of Woodstock 338-0200 OPEN DAILY 9 8; SATURDAY 9-6; SUNDAY 9-5 MUSK MELONS Super Sweet and Home Grown Gal.

But the legislature would not undo what it had done. This was the background of the com­ pensation insurance rate problem, Neal said. The union , is blaming some of the cost problems on the insurance companies but, Neal noted, many companies went for the self insurance option and found tehmselves paying more for y reserves than their former insurance rates. He said there is a problem with the minimum wage which differs at the state and federal level One or the other should act to make it the same, Q preferably at the federal level, he said. In prospect for new legislation, Neal said they are seeking a bill to change the Department of Business and economic Development to the State Department of Com­ merce and to give it more teeth and some money The business oriented agency has not done as much as the Department of Labor, which Neal revealed, has testified recently on every bill which affects business and labor In the subsequent question and answer session, Neal had a chance to explain changes in product liability law which he said will limit the manufac­ turer's responsibility to ten years from date of sale with certain exceptions for ex­ tensions SURVIVES TRAIN- CAR CRASH (Continued from page 1) accident Sunday night.
