Details of the proposal were provided to each of the 236 General Assembly members, who were urged by Lindberg to "set aside partisanship and concentrate on the state's number one problem - bringing spending in line with income." In press conference stops in Springfield, Champaign, Peoria and Chicago, Lindberg said: "For the past two years I have consistently warned that we have been living beyond our means in Illinois. Now, the state's finances are in un­ precedented disarray. The multi-year plan I have presented offers a reasonable and coherent way out of the disarray - step by step. "There is a fiscal time bomb ticking for Illinois right now. If the tomb explodes, it will signal new taxes. "I can already see the long arm of Mayor Daley reaching into the legislature to frustrate my efforts to bring this plan personally before the people most responsible for making it work. If the plan fails, the mayor and his lieutenants will have to accept a great deal of the blame. They have denied me the right to speak directly to the legislature. "I propose nineteen in­ dividual steps as a way out of the cash shortage which has gripped this state since last September. The alternative to this plan is fiscal chaos or new taxes. "My proposal includes no dramatic calls for mass layoffs or unattainable budget cuts. It will require reasonable sacrifices - living within available means - to make it work. Major deviations can insure fiscal crises more severe than those this year. "The steps I suggest are aimed .squarely at giving Illinois a balanced budget. That is something we haven't had the past two years. "I have outlined for the General Assembly a way to realistically balance the state's multi-billion-dollar budget. We must hold down spending for the rest of this fiscal year. We must sacrifice and have no new programs next year. If we do these things, a year from now we can return to a position of . near normal growth in state programs and a balanced budget. "In spite of my calling fiscal 1977 a year of sacrifice, my proposal includes the money presently in the budget for education and a substantial increase for education in 1978. "It will not be easy to ac­ complish what I suggest. But if the steps are followed and appropriate actions are taken by the legislature in the next 21 Parade Application (Marine Festival) Sunday, August 1 Theme: Famous People and Places in American History Name Address MINI FLOAT: 1-Humorous (1st and 2nd places) 2-Origina l LARGE FLOAT: 1-Beauty (1st and 2nd places) 2-Humorou s 3-Origina l • G P COLOR GUARDS: (1st and 2nd places) TWIRLING UNITS: (1st and ^nd places) .• .• HORSES: I (1st and 2nd places) L--J (Mini-float category is for any walking entry or small float, no larger than 6x8 feet.

The points in Lindberg's proposal are: In Fiscal 1976: 1. Fiscal 1976 general funds deficit must be limited to $215 million, including the $18 million income tax refund deficiency. 2. Fiscal 1976 general funds supplemental appropriations must not grow to more than $189 million. 3. Income tax and sales tax acceleration bills for one-time $95 million revenue gain must be enacted. 4. State expenditures must be permanently smoothed by spreading September's $150 million reimbursement (special education and tran­ sportation) throughout the year. Reimburse schools for $3.5 million interest lost. 5. Monthly common school payment must be split into two payments. Reimburse schools for $1.5 million interest lost. In Fiscal 1977: 6. General funds fiscal 1977 expenditure growth must be held to $395 million. The un­ derestimation of public aid spending must be recognized and faced now. 7. There must be a moratorium on all new programs unless old programs are eliminated in a corresponding amount. 8. State revenues must be monitored throughout the year so spending levels can be ad­ justed if revenues come in lower than expected. 9. General obligation bond sales must be kept at an af­ fordable level of $300 million to control general fund spending for debt service cost. 10.

The Illinois Horse Industry, together with "the State Department of Agriculture, has toughened its stand on con­ trolling and eradicating the disease Equine Infectious Anemia (E.I.A.). As in the past, all horses entering Illinois are required to have a negative Coggins test for E l A within twelve months prior to entry and an interstate health certificate Beginning this year, Illinois horses showing at county fairs, the state fair, the Chicago International or DuQuoin fair, must be negative to an agar-gel immunodiffusion <AGID> test for E.I A. within twelve months prior to exhibition As before, these horses must be ac­ companied by a health cer tificate issued by an accredited veterinarian within thirty days prior to exhibition It is the responsibility of the fairs and horse show managements to require the above items at shows following these exhibition requirements Representatives of the state veterinarian's office will be spot-checking these shows to ensure that the new regulations are being enforced. Just as in the case of other livestock, the horse industry is having to become stricter with health requirements to rid itself of diseases such as E I A. As of Jan I, 1977, all horses being transported for any purpose within Illinois as well as across state lines must be negative to the Coggins test for El A within twelve months prior to the date of transport To be better prepared for such regulations, saddle clubs may want to consider holding E I A clinics or meeting areas where the local veterinarian can draw blood from all horses at once and save the expense of many calls There is no charge for this test at the State laboratory, so the only expense to the horse owner is the charge of the local veterinarian For information concerning these new health regulations, please contact the McHenry county Extension office. , i NEWS VIEWS Tom Hark in.
