Prop. 61
attacked
at hearing
Crippling bill
bitterly opposed
By David Comfort
Staff Writer
Proposition 61 will cripple California's
agricultural industry, undermine the
quality of its public higher education and
cost the state's taxpayers $7 billion, state
Senator Alfred E. Alquist said at a joint
legislative hearing on the proposition
Tuesday at the CSU F Center for Irrigation
Technology.
Proposition 61. sponsored by tax-cut¬
ting crusader Paul Gann of Proposition
13 fame, would raise the governor's salary
from the current $49,100 to $80,000. All
government employees—state, county and
city—would be able to earn 80 percent of
that figure, $64,000 at most. This includes'
salary with benefits. Exceptions would
have to go through formal legislation.
The proposition would also' limit
governmental use of private subcontrac¬
tors. The stale would not hire •subcon¬
tractors charging more than $75 per hour
or sustain a contract for more than two
years, the proposition reads.
Government employees' sick leave and
vacation time would also carry over from
year to year if the initiative passes.
The hearing was the fifth and last of a
series held throughout California. The
hearings featured testimony from six
witnesses, including CSUF's Dr. Carl
Pherson, assistant dean of Academic
Affairs in the School of Agriculture and
Home Economics.
All the witnesses opposed the measure.
Alquist said supporters were only found
at the first two hearings.
"They (supporters) say the initiative
may save $100 million, or $20 million, or
' maybe nothing at all. If a legislator made
similiar remarks when presenting a bill, he
or she would be laughed out of the
committee room. 'NN<</

Coach: Drug program
U By David Forater
Staff Writer
Although support for CSUF's
program requiring mandatory drug
testing of all student-athletes appears
nearly universal within the Athletics
Department, there is at least one
strong voice of dissention among the
ranks: that ot Head Baseball Coach
|| Bob Bennett.
Bennett ij not opposed to the
which he
athletes who test positive continue to
play on the team, as the CSUF
program does, since drag use. is a
violation of team rules.
"How can I suspend a guy for three
days to a week for. missing a bus trip
once and let a guy play who I know is
using drugs, and might have been all
yearT he asked.
"People need to take on
responsibility for themselves." he
said, "and when they don't they must
pay the price«..so I don't think that
being more lenient is the answer.
