Day care may be
By ELMER E. WHITE
You're getting older. Your sight isn't as
good as it used to be. You can! get around
too well. You'd like more than anything to
spend the rest of your Hfe in your own
home But you cant make it by yourself
An institution may be the solution
But must it be?
State Senate Majority Leader William
Fitzgerald < D-Detroit) and others think
there are alternatives.
"Upwards of 25 per cent of thoae in nursing
homes right now do not need that kind
» of care." Fitzgerald said in a speech before
the Michigan Hopsital Association
• And if you ask the elderly they will
more often than not say they want to stay
In their homes " f
Day care nurses are one answer.
There is a need.'' Fitzgerald said, "to
• expand the availability of home health
! care and other less expensive alternatives
• to institutional long-term care by expand-
! ing Medicaid reimbursement options ''
Such action could cut the Medicaid budg
et while it also helps older folks who dont
want to be institutionalized.
Fitzgerald pointed out that the five per
cent of Medicaid recipients in nursing'
homes account for almost one-third of the
program budget And. he said, "the size of
the elderly population in this state is expected
to increase by at least onethird in
the next 20 years "
CONCERN GROWS in some state government
circles over the proposed constitutional
amendment to cap the amount
of taxes Michigan can levy on its citizens
Supporters of the amerxfcnent—in effect,
a spending limitation aimed at forcing lawmakers
to reorder priorities and keep a
tighter rein on the state pursestrings-re-
I cently turned in petition signatures to put
the question on the November ballot.
And opponents fear that a sufficient number
of valid signatures could be disastrous.

Taxpayers United, the group behind the

lawmakers can work with each yer—IJ
per cent of the personal income of Michigan
reported for the previous fiscal year
or the average of personal income of Michigan
for the previous five calendar years,
whichever is greater.

give taxpayers a handle on spending and
help ease the constant increase in taxes.
But those against the limitation warn of
complicated fiscal problems that would result
from the 8.3 per cent lid What about
years when the state needs more money to
take care of serious, unexpected problems?
What about the talkedK)f proprety
tax reduction ideas? How would that be affected
by a tax and spending cap?
Dont tie the hands that handle the
money, opponents seem to say

They may have a .hard time convincing
the taxpayers who themselves live on limited
funds.
And it certainly wont help when some
amendment backers start reminding
voters about the payhike—deserved or
not—that legislative leaders have mentioned
in recent weeks.
ADDING 40 more birds to the total population
doesn't seem like much But when
it's Kirtland's warblers you're counting,
that's a different story.
Michigan—the summer nesting ground
of the endangered bird—reports the latest
beakjjaunt-£*--t9Sr nesting pairs. 20 pairs
ffi5rethan last summer's estimate.
"Tbii-uptunrfflay not seem very significant
at a glance, but we are encouraged
by it." says John Byelich. a wildlife biologist
with the department of natural resources.
"In face of the fact there are less
than 400 of these birds left in the world,
every one of them counts preciously in our
efforts to save this species."
The Kirtland's warbler winters in the Bahamas.
then moves to northern lower Michigan
for the summer.
Nesting grounds, in area posted against
trespassing through Aug 15. can be found
in Crawford. Oscoda. Roscommon. Oge-
- maw. Kalkaska and Wexford counties.
