Utah is a great place to live, the governor continued, citing favorable economics and opportunities in what he called a young-vigorou- .10 percent. Drivers with confirmed levels of .08 will automatically have their drivers license suspended, on the spot, at the time of arrest, although a citation given at the scene is to be used as a temporary permit for 30 days, allowing time for an appeal hearing. If the suspected drunk loses the appeal or fails to request a hearing, his driving privileges are automatically revoked for 90 days. No conditional permits will be given, even for people who must have transportation to work. Expressing his confidence in the law, Matheson said that the State of Iowa had a 34 percent drop in fatalities during the first six months after a similar law was passed there. This is going to be a winner, he exclaimed. The State of Utah has finally declared war on the drinking driver. The chief executive was also enthusiastic over lawmakers efforts to Reorganize the public service commission, saying that for the first time since 1918, Utah had provided the commis M sion with the tools to do the job the public expects it to do in administering utilities. In conclusion, he pointed out the critical nature of political processes. Each of 397 bills must be reviewed for the publics interest before they are finally signed. Each law must be carefully analyzed for constitutionality. Critical bills even require two constitutional opinions, such as the two cable TV regulation bills which he vetoed last week. Thus the work of the executive branch goes on long after the legislators go home. f fy'' y y "THE SCENT of economic spring is in the air' Governor Scott Matheson tells members of Clearfield's Chamber of Commerce. growth s state. Still, the chief executives optimism for an upward course in economic trends was tempered by statistically measured realities. Six years ago, when he took office, the governor said Utahs budget had not yet reached the $1 billion mark. Today, in 1983, it stands at a bit over under the influence at .08 percent compared to the old level of $2 billion. In 1964, Utah welcomed her one millionth citizen. Now the state has swelled to 1.6 million, with an increase of 350,000 people during Mathesons term. Claiming the highest birth rate in the United States, Utah has a population mix with at least a third of its citizens under the age of 15. Couple the states phenomenal growth from within with the fact that were being discovered from without, and you begin to see the makings of a very difficult economical climate, said Matheson.
