Show - !THURSDAY, MARCH 8 , 1001 Politicians report on the 2001 session BY THOMAS BURR SENIOR S'fAFF WRITER A virtual truckload of money meant fewer problems and easy sailing for the Utah Legislature during its 2001 session. That was the message delivered Tuesday by House Speaker Marty Stephens (RF arr West) to a crowd of students and community members in the Sharwan Smith Center. Stephens was joined by Rep. DeMar "Bud" Bowman (RCedar City), Rep . Tom Hatch · (R-Panguitch) and Rep . David Ure (R-Kamas) during an open forum in the ballroom sponsored by the SUU Center for Politics and Public Service. "Generally, this was the most civil, easiest flowing legislative session I've seen," said Stephens, one of Utah's top policy makers. . One of the unsolved issues during the session, however, will probably bring ,the legislature back to the State Capitol in a month, Stephens said, in order to find a home for the five Utah applied technology centers. Gov. Mike Leavitt, an SUU alumnus, said recently that he might call lawmakers back to fini sh discussing the issue, which was debated but not solved durin g the regular session. Leavitt wants applied technology, along with its millions in fundin g, to be under the auspices of higher education, a point disputed by several Republican and Democrat legislators who like it. Stephens said with only a few hours left on the clock last week, the bicameral legislature could just not comprom ise on the issue. "There are a lot of concerns,· he told the crowd. "And in Apri l or May we'll probably have a special session to figure all that out.· Bowman said SUU had not spent enough time on a lawmakers' liSt for building needs, and therefore was not funded during the legislative session. "It takes several years to get up to where you're in line for funding," he said. ·we started at square one this year." The battle for monies was not one of Dixie State College against SUU, Bowman added, "[DSC] deserved funding and they got funping." - -- L . ~-- ..
