A But as is the case with any political issue, there are reasonable arguments on both sides. This is not designed to champion one persuasion over the other. Frankly, Im not quite sure at this point how I will vote. I do know that I will vote. And not only because this is the big one. The election that comes along every four years. in November. A While I many havent encountered people too rejoicing over the choices facing us in the presidential election, the fact that it is happening will likely result in a I hold voting to be a sort of sacred opportunity. And I feel that casting a ballot on a state and local issue does a heckuva lot more good than the national vote. turn- out at the polls. With that, the outcome of I was one of those who was forced to wait until I was 21 for the privilege of going to the polls. And I admit to feeling some pride in the fact that in the ensuing years (Im not telling how many), I have never failed to exercise that right. And other races and issues will seemingly represent more of a mandate from the people than is usually enjoyed.

Its one of the few taxes there really is no way around. And tourists help us out. What happens to our nickle (on the dollar) is interesting. Local government at the point of sale gets three-fourtof one penny. On the Wasatch Front, UTA gets the other fourth. The remaining four cents goes to state government and supports literally dozens of programs. When the economy is down (like right now), collections fall off. But the fact remains, that eliminating the sales tax on food would save the wealthy more dollars than the And it may end up costing everybody. The same things can be said of tax limitation. As I said, its a weighty decision. But thank heavens were still a nation where such decisions can be made and carried out with majority rule resulting from a trip to a nearby voting booth.

How about our road system? Police protection? Growth, along with inflation, has been a factor in increasing costs of maintaining status quo in these areas. And many others. Ill admit there is fat in our governments. There ought to be a way to get at it. I wish somebody could give us the answer. I dont have it. I dont think its a tax limitation proposal. I believe the Washington scene is more guilty of waste than the states and should be the first to be elimited. Wieniger. The annual Homecoming finale will be held Friday, Sept. 26.

How often do we stop to think about what those dollars are buying? taxation - senior citizens, low income groups, the handicapped paying it right along with those of us who are more fortunate. However, Id like to know where the cuts to replace the millions of dollars ($60 million) that would be lost to state coffers will be made. Will they be in programs that would negatively affect those same groups? Of if there are not cuts, where will the money come from? What other areas of taxation will be increased? Property tax statewide would need to be hiked nearly 11 mills to generate $60 million; sales tax on other items .8 percent or income tax 19 percent. One of the key factors in the states spending program is Utahs explosive growth. If you dont believe theres growth, ask those charged with administering Granite and Jordan school districts. Check in with water suppliers. So it is with sales tax on food. In times like those were enduring now, its tempting to cast a ballot for anything that might lessen the burden. SPEAKER - Homecoming Plans Made My favorite aged when I think of how little my vote counts in a presidential election. Mostly because of the Electoral College. And Im no more thrilled than a vast majority of Americans with the choices this year. But Ill vote. I figure thats the only way I can legitimately complain about the outcome. And what happens thereafter. Anyway, Anderson needs all the votes he can get. Although Im a transplanted Utahn, Ive lived, played, worked and paid taxes here for enough years to feel very strongly about state and local issues. If they have a profound effect on society, then ultimately they affect me in a very personal way. INCORPORATED PRINT SPORTSHIRTS Short sleeve Values to $10.00 ea. 7 M $ ALL cimhdhg |
