6 Statewide Questions On Tues. Election Ballot

Six statewide public questions, four of them proposed constitutional amendments. will appear on the ballot next Tuesday — above local referendums in five county municipalities. All questions will be listed in the far right of the ballot (Column 11). Voters register their decisions on each referendum by tripping "Yes" or "No" levers along Column 10. Municipal ballot questions are summarized ip a related story. The state referendums are summarized below. Number 1 — Jobs. Science and Technology Bond Issue: Its passage authorizes the sale of $90 million in bonds to establish or improve high -technology centers at New Jersey public and private colleges. Number 2 — Human Services Facilities Construction Bond Issue: Approval authorizes the sale of $60 million in bonds

to improve state human service institutions like the Woodbine State School. State Assemblyman Guy F. MuziaifT" urges a "yes" vote on the question, noting that 2,000 area residents would benefit by its passage. Number 3 — Dedication of Certain Motor Fuels Taxes for the Transportation System in This State : The county Chamber of Commerce and the county Planning Board support approval of this constitutional amendment which would earmark 2.5 cents of the state's 8-cent a gallon gasoline tax for the state transportation program to rebuilding bridges and roads. Cape May County would benefit since passage of the referendum could mean a one-or-two-year acceleration in plans to reconstruct North Wildwood Boulevard (Route 147), according to the Planning Board. Number 4 — Senior Citizens' Clubs and

Associations Authorized to Conduct Raffles: Would amend the constitution to add ""Stese organizations on the list of groups peh»*Kw to hold the fund raisers. Number 5 — Allows a Person to Receive Both a Veteran's Tax Deduction and a Senior Citizen's Tax Deduction: Elderly vets, eligible for a $50 property tax deduction. would also be eligible for another $50

deduction as seniors if this amendment is approved. Number 6 — Taxation of Certain Retirement Benefits Prohibited: Although Social Security and Railroad Retirement benefits are not presently subject to state income tax, Uncle. Sam and 17 states do tax them. Approval of this amendment blocks NewJersey from doing the same.

Knoll, against Republicans Barry Grasso and Edward N. Williams, respectively. MIDDLE TOWNSHIP Democratic Mayor Michael Voll is running for reelection opposite his Rio Grande neighbor Republican James G. Allax. a Stone Harbor businessman. Township voters also answer the municipal ballot question: "Should the Township Committee of the Township of Middle investigate, and if appropriate, pursue a program of incineration for the disposition of solid waste generated by the people of Middle Township?"

Second Ward voters select either Democrat Joseph T. Duncan or Republican James E. McGoldrick. STONE HARBOR - Republican Mayor Arden W. Hand stands unopposed for reelection and new comers Robert J . Boyer and William W.

similar municipal questions at the bottom of Column 11 on their ballots.

UPPER TOWNSHIP - Three can didates are running for one seat on the five-member township committee: regular Republican George W. Betts. Democratic candidate Bruno Tropeano and Independent Frederick M. Armand. Superior Court declared the GOP primary election a tie between Betts and Committeeman Leonard Migliaccio, a 20-year member of township governing body who ran as a (Sheriff) Beech Fox Regular Repubican The court ruling allowed the Cape May County Regular Republican Organization to select its general election standard bearer. Local members of the organization chose Betts over Migliaccio. Tropeano, who ran against both in the primary, came in last but collected 22 write-in votes from the Democratic primary. Although county Democratic leaders oppose his listing" as their candidate because he won't change parties. Superior Court ruled last month that Tropeano can stand as the Democratic candidate. Armand is the husband of Upper Township school board member Dorothy Armand. She unsuccessfully ran in the GOP primary as a Beech Fox Regular Republican candidate for freeholder. WOODBINE — Republican City Council President Theodore DeSantis and Wilham Pikolycky, a GOP councilman, lack Democratic opponents, but Pikolycky faces Independent Walter Guy Chalow. At the county level, two political newcomers are vying for the $32,500 a year job as county sheriff — Republican Jim Plousis, an Ocean City patrolman, and Democrat Nick Zagone, a retired lawyer from Lower Township. Zagone is runnign with Democratic candidates for county freeholder, former Lower Township Mayor Peggie Biebebach and Middle Township businessman Rodney Downs.
