Notes From The Senate Missing Children Center Bill Passes By JAMES E. EZZELL, JR. The bill that recently passed the Senate to establish the Center for Missing Children has been referred to the Appropriations Committee in the House, following the approval of the House Commit tee on Children and Youth. This move is not meant to kill the bill but rather to make sure that sufficient funds are available for its implementation. The bill would enlarge the missing children office and establish a 24-hour toll free telephone number to receive reports. It would serve as a statewide clearing house for reports, pass information to the various police departments, and to the national cen ter. In addition, it would publish a directory of agencies and groups that provide assistance to the families of missing children. I feel sure that bill will survive, but it must go through the proper legislative steps. A lot has been said lately about our governor not having the veto power. This issue has been fought for a number of legislative sessions prior to this one. It is generally felt by the legislature that our gover nor is already one of the most powerful governors in this country. He has approximately 3,000 committee and commission appointments that he makes without legislative approval. He also has control of the budget as soon as the legislature leaves town. If he had the veto power, he would be more powerful than any other governor in this country I expect. Frankly, I don't think the legislature will ever give up some of the other powers that he currently has. The General Assembly has finally passed the bill raising the drinking age from 19 to 21. The bill goes into effect September 1,1986. It would impose a $25 fine and any violation of this law will not cause a criminal record. A lot of pressure was placed on legislators to pass this so that the state would not lose an estimated $30 million annually in highway funds. The House has approved and sent to the Senate a bill calling for some tax reliefs involving an estimated $190 million in cuts during the next two years. This is less than the governor's package recommended. However, it is a fairer package. The House plan removes the intangibles tax on bank ac counts, cuts the inventory tax by 25 percent for in dustries and 15 percent for retailers and wholesalers, gives the poor tax breaks on the money they spend on food tax, increases the deduction parents can use for day care expenses, repeals the gift and inheritajw# taxes, repeals the sales tax on funerals, and firtMome income tax relief. This looks like a good »ringement and I plan to support it when it comes to the Senate for a vote. I was wrong on the seat belt bill. I did not think it would pass the senate, but it did. Some strong lobbying and the legislative process at work enabled the sponsor to get this bill passed. However, it will take a lot of lobbying to get it out of the House. More later from the legislature HERE'S THE BRAKE OFA LIFETIME! Introducing NAfft Lifetime Warranty Brakes." At last, someone is doing some thing to really save you money on brakes.

This weeklong observance reaf firms the rights that come with owning property. For most of us this means a home of our own. Home ownership ensures a stronger democracy because it disperses decision-making to the individual household. Homeowners tend to put down roots, to become involv ed in local government processes and to care about what takes place in their community and neighborhood. The rights that attend home ownership are precious and must never be taken for granted. Rather, they must be protected and preserved for future generations.
