This would result in $166 of higher taxes for every man, woman, and child in the state or $664 for a family of four. I dont know very many families who can absorb that kind of increase," he said. The Bangerter administration claims that most of the state tax increase will be offset by lower federal taxes. "Accordlngto our analysis, the federal reductions toUtah taxpayers have been grossly overstated. Many Utah taxpayers will be paying much more than before the federal tax change. Adding a state tax increase to this would be devastating for many Utah families Church. All auxiliary invited (informal) to discuss a Valentine Dance. NOTICE There will be a P.T.A Meeting on Tuesday, January 27, 1987 at 7:00 p.m. In the Elementary School Taxpayers Association enumerated those changes which included year-rouuse of school buildings. UTA claims this could save $150 million nd challenge govs, claim pov;cnj to DGt meeting There will be a V.F.W. Meeting on Friday, January 23 at 7:00 p.m. in the basement of the Methodist businesses," Mr. Olson said. "Utah state and local taxes already take 12 of our Income, more than all but six other states. The average state takes only 10.5. This tax marks us as a world-cla- ss and spend' state. "The Governor needs to take oft his rose colored glasses and acknowledge the fact that Utah's economy Is In a tallspin. Utah's bankruptcy rate is three times the national average. Many people are out of work or have taken jobs which Sales tax receipts are pay less. actually declining. The $233 million tax increase would continue to hamper our economic development efforts. Utah needs at least 25,000 new jobs each year to provide employment for our young people entering the job market. Last year we gained only 11,000 new jobs. Raising taxes will not bring In any new businesses or new jobs. Instead, the governor's proposal would force people and businesses to exit the state," Olson said. "The governor says higher taxes are needed to Improve our educational system. There's nothing wrong with Utah education that some basic structural changes won't fix," Olson said. Earlier this month the and per year in building costs while providing teachers with the option of teaching twelve months, instead more. of nine and earning 33 included teacher Other changes and competency requirements accountability, student performance standards, and- - consolidation of the 40 school districts. The Association also supports a voucher system to introduce competition in the education marketplace. Olson said there are other alternatives to raising taxes which the governor has not included In his "Millions could be cut program. by trimming school administration where only 57 of school district employees are teachers and only 50 of school budgets are for instruction. Still more could be saved by requiring better use of classrooms at our colleges and universities where utilization is now only 50. Contracting with private Industry to provide government services will also save millions. This could Include everything from snow removal to prisons. We believe the Governor's record tax Increase proposal is and insensitive to the plight of Utah taxpayers. We believe the Governor has a responsibility to cut costs and even eliminate programs as Utah families and businesses are doing. ed "I VI L .'t hay-judgi- 261-399- 4. r a ? ?v v.! r-- 1987 Sterling Scholars from M.H.S. from left to right, Robbie Marshall, Vocational Education; Robin Orton, English Literature; Paul Yee, Science; Cindy Ashley, Home Economics; Arnold Williams, Social Science; Christy Wlllden, Mathematics; Joel Mayer, .
