Millie and Family government is best able to govern the issues of 1) economic development, 2) growth, 3) traffic congestion, and 4) juvenile crime?" While few respondents favored the federal government, results were less predictable and in some cases somewhat contradictory. However, rural Utah votes were once again more supportive of local government. Though growth and traffic seem related to economic development, respondents favored local control for growth issues and state control for economic development. Rural Utahns felt local officials could handle traffic issues better than state officials; the reverse was the case statewide. The majority of respondents felt state government could better deal with juvenile crime. Statewide results: 1) Economic Development--2- 4 percent municipal, 60 percent state, 8 percent, federal. 2) Growth-- 49 percent municipal, 43 percent state, 3 percent federal. 3) Traffic 42 percent municipal, 51 percent state, 2 percent federal. 4) Juvenile . crime 36 k: IV Kl f.pl.'S It are Balers percent municipal, 48 percent state, 2 percent federal.
