Voice Of The People Lobby For Home Rule Are you aware that tha citijcns of the District of Columbia have no voice in electing those who govern their lives, lhat they have no local government as nc know jt here in Portland? Yet they pay taxes a wo all do. which In a sense is undemocratic, unfair and very back- ward, in this day and age. Because of this The Full Committee on the District of Columbia of the House of Represer.tlves has approved mean- ingful legislation to give to the residents of th« District of Columbia substantial self-determination over local issues that affect their lires. To set up local govern- ment. This bill is most important and vs- lal to the C:ti7ene of D.C. and w com- monly called the Home Rule Bill (H.R. 9642) The bill is scheduled to be heard on the floor of the House of Representatives in Washington, Oct. 10. so now is a good time in which to write your Representa- tive expressing your support of the Home Rule Bill. Write: The Honorable Peter V Kyros, House of Representatives. Washington, D.C. 20515 Dump The Commission Of the many things in need of change today, we (myself, ray family, and many friends) feel the most critical need at this time is the abolishment of the Maine Milk Commission. 1 know of nothing more preposterous than a publicly funded body being the direct cause of the public being grossly overcharged for the product they regu- late — the very same public who funds them. We expect to pay money for a service but this Commission Is doing us a dis- service. I am sure you are aware that Maine milk is far cheaper in New Hampshire then it is in Maine Negative trans- portation costs? They must back those milk trucks all the way to New Hamp- shire. There is also a great discrepancy in liquor prices, but this is another mis- sion. The Information I am inquiring for is what legal steps we must take to disband the Maine Miik Commission in tho most expeditious way possible. We are -n hopes either the governor or our state legal department can and will advise us as soon as possible regarding this mat- ter. Andrew N.
