R.L.T.C. Promotes Proposal B LANSING--Representatives of a wide range of interests have formed a committee to promote Proposal B to pro- tect the state’s land trust fund from further raids by the Leg- islature. Known as the Recreation Land Trust Committee, the group includes representatives of the Governor's office, in- dustries, Department of Nat- ural Resources, labor unions, Michigan State Chamber of Commerce, environmental and outdoor recreation groups, and associations of municipal- ities, townships, and counties. Co-chairmen of the commit- tee are State Representative Jerry C. Bartnik, D-Temper- ence, and State Senator Paul Henry, R-Grand Rapids, who sponsored legislative resolu- tions that led to placing Pro- posal B on the November 6 election ballot. If the proposal is adopted, it would amend the State Con- stitution to prevent the Legis- lature from diverting money from the fund established in 1976 to buy recreational land the Michigan Land Trust Fund. for the public with royalties and lease fees from gas, oil, and mineral production on state-owned lands. Since 1976 the Legislature has dipped into the Kammer Recreational Land Trust Fund on four occasions to provide a quick source of cash for fiscal “emergencies.” (The fund is named for then-Sen- ator Kerry Kammer, D-Pon- tiac, who sponsored the enab- ling legislation.) Had the Legislature kept © hands off the fund, it would have reached its statutory maximum $150 million by now so that only the interest and earning would be needed for future land purchases while the additional revenues accruing to the state from roy- alties and lease fees would be turned over to the General Fund. Because of the raids, however, the fund now con- tains only $8 million, a loss of $142 million. Even so, the fund has made it possible for the state to ac- quire more than 35, oe acres of choice nic year of its existence. If voters approve Proposal B, the Kammer Fund would be rolled into a Michigan Natural Resouces Trust Fund with Minor changes. The cap for the fund would be raised from $150 million to $200 million. “We are confident that, with the support of citizens con- cerned with the future of pub- lic recreation in Michigan, we will» succeed in gaining voter approval of Proposal B,’’ sai Thomas L. Washington, execu- tive director of the Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC), which spearheaded the organization of the Pro- posal B committee, Washington conceded that the committee will operate with a modest budget totaling only $100,000, half of which would be footed by MUCC and the remainder by contri- butions from various groups. But he said he believes the committee will receive a great deal of volunteer help. from members of MUCC and other and environmentally — ae tant land during the eighth in telling the Proposal B story.
