CRAWFORD ON 1987 SESSION
QBE, Tort Reform To Face Legislature
from front page
Q. How do you think the
tort reform issue will turn out?
A. I'm not sure. I think the
governor's recommendation
will pass the Senate. They
alreagy have the votes to pass
it. I've got some questions
about it, especially e%out the
$350,000 cap on punitive
damages. In about 95 percent
of the cases, that would be all
that would be called for. But if
you want to punish General
Motors or some corporation of
that size, $350,000 isn’t going
to make much of an impres
sion. But with most in
dividuals, that would do more
than get their attention. I'm
just not sure we need to put a
cap on it. In Georgia, the
average settlement or verdict
is around $25,000, according to
a University of Georgia study.
Q. What action do you
think will be taken on the so
called ‘‘no-pass, no-play’’
proposal?
A. T think probably that
merville is part of the widening of
Hifhway 27. The city is paying for the
utility relocation with some assistance
from the state. (Staff Photo).
then review the list of some
9,200 voters registered in the
county. By law, the jury list
must be revised every two
years.
Enough potential jurors
must be selected to serve at
least six terms of State Court
and two terms of Superior
Court. Each State Court term
requires 50 to 60 jurors and the
usual eight weeks of Superior
Court per year re(t]ire about
100 jurors per week.
Roughly 2,000 names of
voters are usually selected by
the Jury Commission to be
we'll come out with something
safying you can fail one subject.
Of course, it includes all of your
extracurricular activities like
your math club or any other ac
tivity at school, not just foot
ball and basketball.
Q. How do you feel on the
‘“‘no-pass, no-play” issue?
A. I feel like anybody can
fail once in a while. I think so
meone can fail one course and
still play. I think that's
reasonable. You may have a
good student taking a hard
course.
* * *
Q. There's been some talk
about an increase in the
gasoline tax. What are the pro
spects that it will pass and
where does it stand?
A. There's been talk of an
increase in the gasoline tax of
five cents a gallon. But at this
time, the governor and the
speaker of the House both are
not in favor of the increase. I
think the only way that we're
going to get four-lane
highways to rural areas is to in
crease gas tax. Now, it's going
to the metro areas. If we're go
ing to have four-lane highways
going to rural areas to amount
to anything, we're going to
have to have an increase in the
gasoline tax. I think we need to
pass it for a specific number of
roads and at the end of that
time when we have so much
money, it needs to phase out.
Four-sane highways are very
critical to rural communities.
Your large industry is not go
in% to a rural community now
unless they have a four-lane
highway . ..
* * *
Q. Do you think it will pass?
A. The governor ang the
speaker both would have to be
for it for it to Pass.
* *
Q. Is there going to be any
action on helping cities and
counties improve their water
supplies, especially in light of
the drought last spring and
summer? :
A. We'll be discussing the
state’s water policy but I don't
think there'll Ee any action. By
financing low-interest loans
and grants, it would encourafie
communities, mostly in the
North Georgia area, to have
better storage facilities. In a lot
of places, their reservoirs just
aren't big enough to handle a
drought situation.
Q. Will any money be made
available in 19877
A. Whether any money can
be made available this session,
I don't know [yet. We aren't go
ing to have a lot of extra money
this year. There may be some
this year but it won’t be near
enough to get the job done.
We're talking about Lillions in
need, and this year we're pro
bably talking about somewfiere
in the tens of millions of dollars
List Set

Merchants Meet
Promotions for the coming
year will be discussed at the
first meeting of 1987 for the
Summerville Merchants Assn.

a.m. next Tuesday at offices of

(in appropriations).
* * *
Q. Parimutuel betting
seems to come up in some form
or fashion each session. What
does it look like for this upcom
ing session?
A. There's been a good bit
of talk about it in the Atlanta
gapers. I'm against parimutuel
ettin%land I don't think they
have the votes to pass it. It
would take a constitutional
amendment, 120 votes, to pass
it. It has a good bit of support
in the me:ro areas. g
Q. Is there any possibility
that the state will be asked to
kick in any money for a new
Atlanta Falcons’ stadium?
A. I think there's a
possibility. I don't know
whether they’ll try to get it in
this year's budget or not, or
wait untiL nexg year, though.
Q. What is being proposed
regarding changing the state
income tax law to conform
with the new federal law?
A.lfyou tr{ to change it to
bring it in conformity without
making some adjustments,
we'd be into a big windfall (of
taxes). We want it to be
revenue neutral. Some people
think they know enough about
it now to pass a law that would
make it revenue neutral but
others say, ‘‘no you don’t know
that much. You're either going
to come up plus or minus
several million dollars.”
* * *
Q. Do you think there will
be some modifications made in
the state income tax law or
forms?
A. They're ioing to have to
convince us that they know
what they're doing because we
don’t want to come up short
and we don't want to be accus
ed of having a big tax increase
either.
* * *
Q. Is there any money going
to be included in appropria
tions this coming session for
the proposed new state prison
at Pennville and how much?
A. I think the latest figure
is $24-million. It will be in the
budget.
* * *
Q. Do you have any local
legislation in mind for Chat
tooga County?
A. We'll probably put on a
fulltime secretary for t?xe State
Court solicitor. "lyhey're having
trouble keeping up with all the
files and the cases.
Q. What about any legisla
tion requiring the county com
missioner to hold qunrterly
public meetings for input by
county residents?
A. I doubt we will act on
that this year. I think we'l
wait and work on something
like that to go in effect after
the 1988 elections, for the next
term, rather than this time.
