wai not elected to the Utah legislature but he maintains that his frequent visits there are an important part of his job “Almost any law that is passed by the legislature is up to us to enforce so we monitor things pretty closely down there" Bodrero eiplained to The Herald Journal between lobbying Rep Ward and Rep Evan Olsen Norman Wahlstrom “I represent both Cache County and the sheriffs association down here" he said “Usually what I’m doing affects both groups" His efforts reoently have been geared to getting Cache representatives to support a bill that could gain $63000 for the Cache County jain and $39000 for the sheriffs budget in SALT LAKE CITY general “House Bill 49 would set state jail standards and allocate $1 million to the counties for improving jail conditions" Bodrero said “Since half of the prisoners in my jail are state prisoners I think it’s only reasonable that the state provide some financial help” According to Bodrero the Utah State Prison contains 300 inmates over its capacity so all current sentencing in the courts is by necessity sending people to county jails “This bill would derive funds for improving the county jails from the state liquor fund" said Bodrero “Those same funds would help implement the establishment of new standards” When asked why Utah needs new jail standards Bodrero said “Ten of our founty jails in Utah are currently

establish it's Standards R win be loreed to federal standards And they are Ridiculously stringent" Engineer Week ! activities on campus outlined Students and faculty at Utah State University are

budget-cuttin- g year so the lawmakers are not going to look favorably on a bill that has a million dollar price tag" The other bill Bodrero was lobbying for early this week would raise the fees charged to serve all civil lawsuits “We're bound by law to serve all civil lawsuits" explained Bodrero “However the fees for that service have not been changed since 1912 Last year Cache County collected $1934 in fees for the service but it cost us $47691 to administer it" “The taxpayer is supplementing the guy who doesn't pay his bills" he insisted “The fee raise will still not but make the service it will bring it close" An example of the fee raises proposed in HB 223 is a doubling of the fee for a summons from $2 to $4 Bodrero did say that a 1971 amendment to the existing law did
