Redwiru BY SUSAN USHER During the 1985 legislative session, Ron navid Redwine introduced or cosponsored 73 bills, several of which he says could have far-reaching impact on Brunswick County. In the process, Redwine says he also "did some right things" that bode well for his future in the General Assembly. Redwine returned home in midJuly from a session that began in February and was criticized for its length, ambivalence and relationship with Gov. Jim Martin. His smorgasboard of measures responded to farming, fishing, education and business concerns. Eleven bills of a local nature ran the gamut from revoking the charter for the town of Shady Forest to a water extension procedure for the county and a $500,000 appropriation for the Brunswick Technical College building program. As 14th District representative, Redwine represents all of Brunswick and parts of New Hanover and Pender counties. While education bills affect more people, Redwine said an artificial reef program funded by the legislature "may have as big an impact here as anywhere?it's been proven that for every' $1 spent on reefs, you can expect $10 in touristrelated expenditures." Bruaswick County has the permits and local mechanisms ready to take ad%'antage of the new program quickmm Formosos $1.10 each g Pampass Grass SI .00 5 LEAH'S I NURSERY J I HWY. 17.

Another measure of benefit to the farm community makes tobacco leaf assessment payments deductible from state income taxes. In regard to fishing, Redwine also cosponsored a bill that would have regulated menhaden fishirig off the local coast. Instead, a temporary agreement was reached with the fishery companies and Marine Fisheries Commission pending further action by the Commission later this year. His proposal to finance a study of the need for a salt-water fishing license wasn't funded, leaving two alternatives, Redwine said: drafting a bill during the next session or allowing the N.C. Department of Natural Resources and Community Development to conduct its own study.

It allows the county to collect the prorated cost from property owners and reimburse the party or parties that advanced the cash for installation. "I don't think we were a really 'donothing' legislature," he reflected, responding to criticisms of the General Assembly in its final weeks. "We passed the largest tax cut in dollars in the history of the state. It certainly wasn't all the governor asked for. But at the same time, we legislators, after looking at the figures, decided it was not possible to give ail that the governor wanted and still do some things we wanted to see done." The tax package finally adopted, he added, was broader-based than that proposed by Martin, touching the lives of more people. Red wine cosponsored a bill that provided the Department of Com mcrcc an additional $1.6 million for tourist-related expenditures. He also cosponsored the measure that allows silent prayer in classrooms across the state. "1 don't think we can go back to any kind of state prayer," he said, "but 1 also don't think there's nothing wroriK constitutionally with a tnoBhIkj ^^BBW 7*JH RE REALLY 5 PAGER CAN I AHEAD. r FYom Motorola. ) but need to stay in B compact, SPIRIT ar Ft n m'j!/o mnr It V?il IIIUIVL.

Also, added Redwine, who represents a predominantly coastal voting popultion, a lot of legislators are seeing the coast not as "an island unto itself" but as part of a larger whole. "The days are gone when the coast can be singled out for environmental legislation. The entire state has fragile environments. We can't continue to just address issues in that one area." The debate over H.B. 540 "got a little out of hand," he said. While state environmental officials told Redwine the bill's passage wouldn't make much difference, the legislature's reluctance to pass the measure drew statewide attention. The bill would have added a review of impact on current and future uses of adjoining water to the items considered by the Coastal Resources Commission in approving CAMA development permits. Redwine said the review is already being done by another state agency under administrative regula UUIIS. "The people I represent tell me 'leave us alone, don't legislate us to death." Redwine said he empathized with that position, being something of a Jeffersonian in the view that less government is better.
