But Democratic Gov. Scott Matheson may have politically upstaged his challenger and Illinois Republican Congressman Henry Hyde. Matheson brought Interior Secretary Cecil Andrus to town earlier in the day to make a major announcement about a change in federal land policy that will allow Utah to lay claim to thousands of acres of oil shale lands. The governor has been urging the action ever since the U.S. Supreme Court denied a Utah lawsuit seeking title to 156,000 acres of oil shale. Andrus' announcement fit snugly into - Tahoe casino's water. Lt.

Matheson also said he refused to sign the state bill because he questioned its constitutionality. The bill became law without his signature and similar laws were later upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. "It turned out my legal views were incorrect," said Matheson. "But in the opinion in which I said I would not sign the bill, I also outlined my position against abortion on demand."
