He was preceded in death by a granddaughter, sister and brother. Mr. Patterson was a member of Tallassee Church of Christ and a The Elmore County Commission agreed Monday, night to launch a legal battle in the courts against Montgomery County's proposed 1.5 percent occupational tax.

If upheld in court, the occupational tax would produce about $45 million annually for Montgomery County. This would free about $12 million that Montgomery County now gives to Montgomery Public Schools and would result in a net increase of $33 million annually for education. Co Commission However, the and Elmore Elmore County Attorney John Enslen say it is unfair for the 23,000 Elmore County residents who commute to jobs in Montgomery to pay the tax. Based on a salary, an Elmore County resident who works, in Montgomery County have 1 to pay $450 a year to Montgomery County, Enslen told the panel Monday. He said that would cost more than $10 million in lost sales tax revenue in Elmore County, thus amounting to a $100,000 tax loss for Elmore County public schools.

Following Enslen's report and a motion by Commissioner Mickey Shaw, the commission unanimously authorized Enslen to spearhead a legal fight against the occupational tax. Taxes: make tax From Page 1B The levy is expected to raise $45 million a year for public schools while freeing up the $12 million the county now dedicates to its schools annually. "If Montgomery County succeeds through a pronouncement of the Alabama Supreme Court, it could open the door for that as a source of funding" in other counties, he said. Around the state, sales, leasing and privilege taxes frequently have been used to generate revenues for local governments while property taxes usually get voted down by voters in referendums, Roquemore said. An occupational tax, though hard to sell to voters, is stable The lawmakers also authorized Shaw to attempt to recruit neighboring counties and municipalities in a coalition to defeat the occupational tax in the court system.

"This occupational tax is unfair," Enslen told the panel. "I believe the tax is subject defeat (in court) on several different grounds. "But this tax is not going to self-destruct," Enslen said. "It will take a considerable legal action to defeat it." At Enslen's request, the panel appropriated $1,500 to begin a legal fund and authorized Shaw to solicit a similar amount from Autauga County, Tallapoosa counties that to join the County and other, neighboring fight, and to solicit $500 from cities. Enslen said individuals also may want to contribute.

Enslen said after the meeting he has not decided whether he will instigate a separate lawsuit in the matter or have the county join an existing suit. Montgomery attorney Doyle Fuller 1 filed a counterclaim on Aug. 20 in Montgomery County Circuit Court designed to stop the occupational tax. Enslen said Fuller's counterclaim action is against a complaint filed Aug. 19 by the Montgomery County Board of Education, seeking authority to use revenue from the occupational tax to pay for debt service on bonds.

Alternatives appealing and looms as a potential way to create a large amount of revenue when other sources have dried up: In some cities, sales taxes have increased to as high as 10 percent. The Montgomery City Council is weighing a 1-cent sales tax right now, along with a 2.5 percent increase in the city's lodging tax to be used for downtown improvements. In the mid-1960s, Gadsden became the first Alabama city with an occupational tax. Auburn followed with a 1 percent occupational tax. At least two state Supreme Court rulings have since upheld the right of cities to impose such taxes, Roquemore said.

War: Web sites follow escalating ad negativity From Page 3B and integrity from a man who can't pay his taxes." The dueling Web site announcements followed an escalation of negative television advertising from the two, who are close in several polls. Siegelman ads say Riley does not want to fund schools or tax major corporations fairly. Riley ads charge that Siegelman does not tell the truth. The negative advertising surge is the first from two candidates who have played it safe so far, said D'Linell Finley, a political science professor at Auburn University Montgomery. "Riley has stuck to a theme of honesty and integrity and how it helped him build a business and in Washington, but it has been low on specifics on major problems, especially education and constitutional reform," Finley said.

"Siegelman, except for talk about bringing in 68,000 jobs and delving into the lottery controversy, has not offered many specifics on education," he said. "Despite the talk about nasty campaigning, it has not gotten as nasty as it was last time. Four years ago by this time sparks were flying between Siegelman and Fob James on the education lottery and the fact that the governor didn't a plan for dealing with education," Finley said. "Once the controversy picks up this year, watch for people to start paying attention to which man can really deliver." The national scene may have considerable impact on the Alabama race, Finley said. If President George W.

Bush does well, Riley will benefit. On the other hand, debacles in foreign policy or a continued slide in the national economy could undermine Riley's support, he said. Hyundai: DRA made for economic distress From Page 3B unemployment rate at 17 percent, followed by Dallas' 14 percent, Perry's 13.3 percent and Wilcox's 13.2 percent. "If we can get reliable transportation, we'll be able to get our people to the Hyundai site or to other locations where skilled workers are needed," Riggs said. Based in Clarksdale, the DRA is a federal-state partnership serving a 240-county area in a an eight-state region.

It was created to remedy severe and chronic economic distress by stimulating economic development. DRA Chairman Pete Johnson said those who helped created the agency wanted grants to represent only a portion of its overall mission. "The overwhelming amount of requests we have received has clearly demonstrated that our region is in dire need of assistance," Johnson said. He said most of the recommended projects appear to meet federal specifications, but some will have to be sent back down to the state level for further evaluation. Congress approved $30 million for DRA projects, meaning amount appropriated for the first year of operation represents 95 percent of the total.

Riggs said his region has three years to come up with matching funds to buy the vehicles. Two years remain, he said, "and if we can't get it through DRA, we'll keep looking for some other source of revenue." DRA Executive Director Hayes Dent said the response from cities and counties within the eight states "has been mind "We're amazed and pleased with the response we've received," Dent said. "There is an overwhelming need, and the number of applications bears that out." Applications range, he said, from $25,000 to redo the roof of a community center to more than $1 million for training workers.
