If they aren't part of the solution, they're part of the problem, according to feminist activist Gene Boyer, president of the Beaver Dam Chapter of the American Association of University Women. Boyer, a long-time Beaver Dam resident who is spending the winter in Fort Lauderdale, recently spent five days in Washington, D.C. at the Council of Presidents, a meeting of the leaders of 80 women's organizations from around the country.

The group hashed out an agenda that focuses on civil rights, family and medical leave, universal health care, and educational equity. THE PRESIDENTS took the agenda home to their respective organizations or chapters, groups such as the National Organization for Women, the League of Women Voters and the National Women's Political Caucus. "They have to take this agenda back to their boards and decide which pieces of legislation they want to sign on to," Boyer said. "When it gets down to specific bills, each organization has to decide what it likes."

It "goes after teachers and public employees to hold down property taxes," George said. The greatest opposition to the governor's budget proposal will almost certainly come from the teachers union, according to 39th Assembly District Rep. Robert Goetsch, R-Juneau. "Schools have always said they don't get enough state aid," he said. Goetsch said the governor's proposal includes putting from $220,000 to $230,000 from income and sales taxes aside for schools and municipalities.

And, the following biennial budget would direct all sales tax revenue to school funding. "His thinking on this subject is that sales tax is the best indicator of economic growth and activity "Goetsch said. In addition to freezing the mill rate, the budget proposal seeks to change the current arbitration-mediation laws governing the teachers union. According to Goetsch, the suggested changes in the arbitration laws would prevent a petition for binding arbitration if the arbitrator attempts to achieve a salary increase that exceeds the rate at which the cost of living increased according to the previous year's Consumer Price Index. During calendar year 1992 the CPI cost-of-living increase was from 3 to 3.5 percent, Goetsch said.

In addition, the proposal forces the arbitrator to look at community wages and salaries, including the private sector. "They can't just say we're going to compare this to other school districts in the state," Goetsch said. There are three vacant seats in the Senate currently. "Because of that, the Senate Finance Committee is split fifty-fifty," on the current proposal, Goetsch said. "Who wins those elections will be critical to whether or not the governor's proposal stays intact or is badly emasculated." HAPPY BIRTHDAY need property tax relief." Legislators are so "desperate" for a reply to voters' complaints that they might support the governor's plan, said Rep.

David Travis, the Assembly's Democratic majority leader. "It's simplistic," Travis said. "It's hard to explain why you'd vote against it" Mark Bugher, secretary of the Department of Revenue, said real estate values have increased 5.5 percent annually in the last five years while property taxes have risen 10 percent annually. "We can't have that anymore," Bugher said. "So I think it's going to be fairly provocative and yet popular with taxpayers.

It's something that we have not tried before." Rep. Barbara J. Linton, D-Highbridge, a chairman of the budget-reviewing Joint Finance Committee, said she worries whether school funding will suffer if tax rates are frozen at their 1992 levels. She and committee member Sen. Robert Jauch, D-Poplar, said Thompson's budget plan doesn't contain enough new state aid for schools.

Leean could be in line to be a chairman of the influential committee if Republicans gain control of the Senate in three special elections April 6. Compared with Leean's plan to guarantee a levy of $3,000 per student, some wealthier districts average as much as 12,000 per student while poorer districts can afford only about $3,500, Sen. David Helbach, D-Stevens Point, said. "What (Thompson) is doing is freezing the inequalities," Helbach said. Sen.

"I think we'll have to wait and see the FBI report but I know of none at this point' Wood, 49, is best known for her handling of the highly publicized Milken securities fraud trial. She sentenced Milken to 10 years in prison but then reduced it to two years because of his cooperation with prosecutors. Before being named to the bench, Wood's legal work ranged from representing poor families in class action suits to representing huge companies in antitrust cases. on condition of anonymity. Both rated Wood the favorite, citing a favorable interview with the president last week, Clinton's desire to name the first female attorney general and the fact that she already has been through the Senate confirmation process.

Clinton's search was forced by the abrupt withdrawal last month of his first nominee, Connecticut attorney Zoe Baird, because of intense criticism of her hiring of illegal aliens, a violation of immigrations laws the attorney general is charged with enforcing.
