BY TOM BUSSBJ3BIG Clipper Today News Editor I believe SALT LAKE CITY there will be a substantial increase in funding for education approved during the coming Legislative session. Gov. Michael Leavitt said Tuesday. I think there will be broad support for an increase in the Legislature," he said in an interview with the Clipper Today. He coupled that comment by saying he believes House Majority Whip, Kevin Gam of Layton, will be supportive. But in addition to more funding, the Governor emphasized that he would like to see (hat coupled with a not broader sense of accountability just by teachers, but by all of us. We should be driven by our own stanHe added that community dards. standards that we hold ourselves" should be implemented. Along similar lines, Leavitt said he sees a great need for the proposed new Weber State UniversityDavis campus. The demands on higher education will do nothing but increase, he said. Ten to 15' years ago half of us had some higher education training. Now, it's in the high 60's (percent). It could be in the 80 s in 10 years. All of us are (having to be) retrained. It's clear there have to be additional facilities. Responding to complaints from some Davis County farmers that the governor is ignoring their water-relate- d problems caused by the Davis-Webe- r Canal break, the governor said we have about $33 million in state loans to the canal company, at v ery favorable rates. Those include deferred payments and other aids, he continued, noting that when the canal broke, we saved them (company) on their cash flows, helped quite a bit But he emphasized, It's very evident the canal was not adequately maintained.

The board needs to find a way to deliver in the short and long term. The state will cooperate in the short term. We do care about the farmers, have done everything to deliver to their customers." the governor emphasized. They can't just look to the state" to solve those problems. Gov. Leavitt said the ideal Legacy solution would be to gain all parties support and see construction started 1 and completed two years by later. I've never seen a road built where there wasn't some opposition." he said, adding that it is his belief the Sierra Club will challenge any proposals. nud-200- School District sells Farmington land to UDOT BY MARK WATSON Clipper Today Staff Writer FARMINGTON Davis School District will sell 32 acres of land in west Farmington to the Utah Department of Transportation for $34, (XX) an acre. District Business Manager Bruce Williams said the district had planned to use the land as a bus terminal area, but UDOT made an offer on the property for construction of Legacy Highway. Williams said the offer was considerably higher than what the district had paid for the property. Total price of the transaction is $1,081,000. In other business at Tuesday's school board loan with meeting, the board approved a short-terFirst Security Bank to alleviate cash-floproblems for the district. The district already owns a certificate of deposit of $8 million with First Security, but the certificate has not matured. First Security agreed to loan against the CD at a rate of 1 percent higher than what the bank was paying the district on its CD. District board members also approved a motion to accept a bid of $634,500 from Tri Cor Construction of Salt Lake City to build an addition to the Davis High School Counseling Center & Career Lab. The school board also passed a first reading of a charitable solicitation policy. The policy allows district employees the opportunity and convenience of contributing through payroll deduction to well established and efficient chanties which have a local presence. Other parameters of the proposed policy include allowing a unified campaign to occur one time a year, and the charity must demonstrate by audit or report that it provides direct services to Davis County residents and that it also provides direct health and human welfare services. Distnct Policy and Compliance Director Dr. Ross Poore said the distnct can develop guidelines. The Supreme Court has said the regulation of chantable solicitation in the workplace need only be reasonable and viewpoint neutral." Employees of the school distnct currently have the option of contnbuting to the United Way of Davis County. Community Shares of Utah and Combined Health Appeal of Utah. Those fundraising efforts conclude on Nov. 19. Under the proposed policy, any chantable organization that desires to be considered mica complete a Request for Proposal process, which would be subject to review by an advisory committee chosen by the Board of Education. That committee would then recommend one qualified federation to the school board, and that board would make the final decision.

Leavitt speaks with the Gipper Today about eduCanal and many other issues. cation, the Legacy Highway, the Weber-Davi- s Antelope Island was listed by the governor as one of Davis County's assets that should be built upon. Visiting there last Saturday for the buffalo roundup with his son, he said we saw buffalo, antelope, deer, a badger, birds all in two hours. It was an atmosphere devoid of the usual hustle and bustle of modem-da- y living. He said the proposed Legacy Parkway can continue that feeling, to a point, with trails, wetlands, promoting "the quiet and quality of life that is the reason people want to live there. Touching on polygamy, he said simply, Polygamy is against the law. It ought to be any time a prosecutor has a case within hisher jurisdiction that he believes he can win. he ought to pursue it. I also think it's a culture that may be fostering civil rights abuses. There is also some evidence there may be funding fraud against federal and state programs" carried out by some living in polygamy, he continued Those cases should be prosecuted appropriately. We are working to educate those who deal in human services to watch for fraud On the gun control issue, Leavitt said unequivocally yes, a person has a Constitutional right to own a gun. But it's not ownership, but use of guns that is the question. Adding that he doesn't personally believe guns should be allowed in schools or churches, the governor added that those declared mentally ill or who have been convicted of a violent crime using a gun should not be allowed to possess them. I don't want schools protected by teachers (having to carry guns). There is an initiative happening that may resolv e that issue." he added referring to PTA efforts and those of some churches to place the issue on the hearing the final tally said, Congratulations, Curt (Oda).
