Show Weber Legislator Says 33rd Session Making Good Time, Progress Rep. J. Levi Beus (D-Weber) saw in the rapid organization of House affairs during this 33rd Session of the Utah State House of Representatives, a hopeful sign "I think we are making much better time," the Weber county Representative stated. "This is particularly important since we appear to have before us a much heavier work load." Questioned as to what issues appeared to hold precedence in his opinion the Legislator named a growing tax problem, Weber College and controversial issues now being considered by both House and Senate. "Taxwise, our school problem is probably the greatest. We all know we must find some means of educating our children but we must keep our tax burden within with-in reason. In addition to the educational edu-cational problem, we have many things that must be considered. Our park situation grows worse by the year and will continue to do so. We need to purchase additional addi-tional park acreage. This is going go-ing to be tremendously needed in the future. It is hard enough to get now and the cost is constantly con-stantly increasing. Yet I think any thinking person will agree that we as a state must keep pace with our sister states in the devolpment and advertising of our natural scenic beauty." Concerning the effort to make Weber College a four year college, col-lege, Rep. Beus said that in his opinion, the bill would handily pass both House and Senate, "and of course we are hopeful that the Governor will approve. Referring to the controversial "Right to Work" legislation under un-der consideration he said that it was anybody's guess, but I personally per-sonally don't really expect to see the bill repealed." |
