Harold BOUNTIFUL Shafter, 1453 N. 400 W., of Bountiful, has announced his Davis candidacy for four-yeCounty commissioner. Shafter has been a member of the Bountiful City Council for the past two years and four months. A Democrat, he decided to seek the office because he said he is concerned that Davis County has y become a county and he feels the voters need a choice. A y county is not proper or fair to the citizens that live in it. There are things I feel I can do to help out this unbalance, Shafter said. He wants to put the voice of the people back into county government. He wants to use the same approach he has used while on the Bountiful City Council, that of listening to the people. I ar one-part- one-part- Kim R. Burningham Scott W. Holt CandidatesHouse of Representatives Scott W. Holt . Woods Cross. SYRACUSE Rep. Scott W. has announced Holt, that he is seeking to a second term to the Utah State House of Representatives, District 14. Holt said he believes that the next legislature will be facing some of the most difficult decisions in the states history due to the lack of adequate state revenues to meet the needs of education and solve the potential crisis of flooding posed by the ever rising waters of the Great Salt Lake: He said he believes the state must be much more assertive in attracting new business to Utah. Holt sponsored the bill establishing a government procurement office for Utah which Gov. Norman Bangerter later adopted as part of his economic development program. Holt stated that Davis Countys largest untapped source of revenue, which could bring millions of new tax dollars into the State, is to keep some of the $1.7 billion being spent at Hill Air Force Base here instead of going to out of state firms. He said these dollars should stay in Utah and help build our economy, support our schools, and provide jobs for our citizens rather than some other states. Holt also sponsored, among other legislation, a bill which required warning labels to be placed upon all smokeless and chewing tobacco products. Holt said that Utah was the first state to enact such legislation. He said he hoped that the warning labels might discourage the use of such products, especially among teenagers. He said he felt that sports personalities had been promoting its use and that teenagers erroneously believed smokeless tobacco was a safe alternative to smoking. ' He cited health studies which showed that smokeless tobacco was very addicting and that its continuous use would result in oral cancer of the mouth together with other mouth disorders. Holt served on the education and health standing committees and the judicial and social services interim committees. He also served on the higher education appropriation g resident of Holt is a Syracuse and is married to the former Kathleen Hess of Ogden. They have four children. Holt is active in church and other civic life-lon- affairs. Kim R. Burningham BOUNTIFUL Rep. Kim R. this week announced Burningham that he will be running for to the Utah State House of Representatives, representing District 19 in Bountiful and Burningham has served in the House for the past seven years, having been initially appointed to fill the vacancy created when David Irvine resigned. He has been elected to the post three times. Burningham currently serves as chairman of the Community and Economic Development Appropriations Committee of the House. In this position he works closely with state plans to bring new businesses and industry to the state. The committee also oversees the budgets of tourism promotion, state history, the state library, the fine arts council, and a variety of other community development programs. Regarding Burninghams responsibilities with economic development, he observed that bringing tourists and new businesses to Utah is absolutely essential. Given our growing student enrollments and other demands on state services, improved economic development is a vital method of gaining the new revenue needed to support such a want to represent the voice of the people, he said. Issues Shafter says are of prime importance are to determine why the county commissioners hold meetings in the day time when it is difficult for the people of the county to be in attendance, and the issue of participation in a county bum plant. He said he feels the only people benefiting from commission meetings are special interest groups and the commissioners themselves because when the public doesnt know what is going on, they cant respond. I say lets hold them at night when the voters are at home, he said. The second issue is that of a resource recovery plant to be located in Layton. Some people feel the day will come when they are forced into a situation on this issue, he said. no-choi- ce i the cities of Bountiful, Clearfield and Layton were very wise in their decision not to enter this project. I will never be a party to forcing these cities as long as I am on the commission, he I feel said. We need a check and balance in our government today as we have had in the past and this doesnt exist today in Davis County, Shafter said. Shafter would like to institute an open door policy and would have days of the week when the people of Davis County could come and air their complaints to him. He said he wants to assure the Bountiful residents that he intends to give them 100 percent representation on the council during the election process. He has been a resident of Bountiful for 25 years. He is married and has six children and one grandchild. He is active in church and Scouting and is a Marine Corps veteran.
