Voter Revolt staff members and Rosen- field met as a group with Colli and anoth- er potential Democratic ndidate - Walter Ze man, exccutrve director of Cal- ifornia Common Cause - at Collis' and Zelman's requests. Consumer Groups Divided? There were indications that Ro en- field's endorsement may signal a pht with other consumer and public inte est groups on the issue. Robert Fellmeth, director of the Cen• ter for Public Interest Law at the Univer- sity of San Diego ~te;dicte consumer and public iilterest advocates would back Zelman ifhe decides to run. In hght of Rosenfield's endorsement of Col- lis, Fellmeth said, the consumer advocacy community would be split much as it was during the 1988 insurance reform ballot battle. Fellmeth said Rosenfield's support "is not Ralph Nader's endorsement." Na- der, perhaps the nation's best known con- sumer advocate, woi:ked closely with Rosenfield to secure passage of Proposi- tion 103. Fellmeth said he would "like to see someone run {for commissioner) who has a long his ry as a public interest advo- cate. T don't think Conway Collis fills that bill." He added, "If Zelman announces, I ex- pect he would have the support of most of the consumer interest segment in the state. If that happens, a split will be there and that's a problem." Zelman confirmed that he had appeared before Voter Revolt workers. "They had some really bitter feelings toward people who weren't wholeheartedly in their camp," he said. Zelman supported both Proposition 103 and Proposition 100, a competing mea- sure, in the November election. 103," and not a!! November, create sioner's office, whic appointive.

Nati dr:f ~en owned children's services expert Michael Petit will speak on "San Diego's Children : Planning for the Future," at 9:30 AM on Saturday, Sept . 16, 1989, at the First United Methodist Church, 2111 Camino del Rio South. The presentation is free and open to the public. All persons who are concerned about children and their future in San Diego are urged to come. Petit's presentation is being cosponsored by the Children's Advocacy Institute (CAI) at the University of San Diego, a privafelY tunced organization which advocates for the health and safety of children throughout California . "What are we doing to heTp train and guide those hands In which the fate of humanity rests?" asks Nancy Mitchell, Resource/Referral Coordin- ator for the San Diego YMCA Childcare Resource Service, which Is cosponsoring Pelit's presentation. "Each year there are more children abused, more children born addicted to drugs, more homeless children, more children on welfare, more children In need of attord- able, available, quality child care. We must work together to develop a process for preventing these condictions instead of just 'putting out the fl res."' "We will have some very damaged, unskilled people Incapable of carrying out their role in society," adds Marie E. Marsh, Executive Director of the Sacramento County Children's Agenda, an organization set up by Petit to advance children's issues. "If people can't look a1 that In terms of mora Indignation, maybe the) should look at it in terms o enlightened self-interest." Petit will focus on th · s

spectrum of knowledge of children and families in America. Petit is nationally known for his work in the Federal Government's Nation- al Child Death Commission and the National Child Welfare Di rectors Association . As Commissioner of Maine's Department of Human Resources, he strengthened health and social programs and added innovative new services despite deep cuts in federal spending. Petit will also meet with children's services leaders in San Diego to offer his expertise (See Planning, 1· 8)
