an hour each time in overseeing the mental health center's $12 million budget Utah County commissioners also criticized Mr Anderson for his - patient care Auditors also blamed the Timpanogos board for failing to catch accounting irregularities In a letter to Republican delegates Mr Anderson answered critics by saying his withdrawal from the race will enable him to make decisions "free from political taint and eliminate any speculation that our decisions are politically motivated" "Timpanogos needs a chance to recover" he said in the letter Appearing before the Interim Appropriations

win the way they're playing" airport police officer Larry Bowers told a re- porter "After two more games LA will know what it's like to be Mike beat" added Gore He and his friend Mike Mitko were at the airport not in school because Edith Mitko Mike's mother thought it was the right thing to do "After the win a week earlier in Los Angeles I wished I'd pulled her son Mike out" she said "I'm impressed The Lakers are supposed to be the very best" Jolene Welch brought her children Trent Andy and Ashley as well as Loren Jepson because her parents had taken her to the airport to cheer for the

proposed merger Dr Schlesinger was hired as a witness by the Utility Shareholder Association which represents UP&L and Questar stockholders His testimony will be paid for from money UP&L allots for dividends Dr Schlesinger not only endorsed the proposed merger but also said the law should be modified to allow more mergers among electrical utilities UP&L and PacifiCorp the parent of Pacific Power & Light Co announced the proposed merger in August The merger would create an $87 billion company and the third largest electrical utility in the Western United States Dr Schlesinger cited the economies of scale the UP&L and PacifiCorp's PP&L subsidiary will achieve from the merger particulary given that UP&L's and PP&L's demand for electricity peaks at different times in the year UP&L's demand for power peaks in the summer while PP&L's demand for electricity peaks during the winter Utilities build new power plants to meet peak demand and have surplus electricity most of the year UP&L

education budgets majorRep Nolan Karras ity leader said lawmakers shouldn't act hastily but consider all options such as including combinations of sales tax and income tax adjustments This time legislators should be sure of revenue figures they are working with he cautioned "The mistake we made last time (1987) is that we thought somebody else had the facts" he said Rep Karras offered his concept for the Legislature to set up a nonbinding statewide referendum vote at the Nov 8 general election on a proposition whether the public wanted the surplus returned or used for budgetary needs such as for education It could be "a lightning rod for the average Joe" he said although conceding later the idea has received only lukewarm support Gov Bangerter questioned the legality and relevance connected with turning legislative affairs into referendum questions From the Democratic House minority Rep Brent Goodfellow DWest Valley City said a sales tax adjustment should be considered with income tax reform since the two taxes were discussed together last year He is the assistant minority whip f The sales tax was boosted by percent last year "If we had our druthers we wouldn't have a special session But we're not the one calling the shots" the Democrat said Most Democrats feel surplus should go into a "rainy day" reserve or be returned through a tax credit already provided in legislation passed last February he added Democrats still see a summertime special session as a Republican ploy" Rep Goodfellow said House Speaker Glen Brown RCoalville said lawmakers have yet to hear

industrial customers should be treated as separate issues In testimony filed with the PSC Dr Schlesinger said the merger "constitutes a remarkably good fit" and "would provide substantial through substantial cost savings" benefits In the course of his illustrious ca- reer Dr Schlesinger served as acting director of the Bureau of Budget the predecessor of the Office of Management and Budget
