Show Page 2 THE SIGNPOST Friday, November 3, 2000 Democratic continued from front limit. It Is called a ballot box," Petersen said. 'The congress operates on a seniority system. Those who are there the longest get the c hairmanships in the committees ... his seniority and chairmanships have paid huge dividends for this state." Law enforcement: top job up for grabs Salt Lake CountyCommissioner-gone Attorney General candidate Mark Shurtleff doesn't like to see Utah at the top ol the scales. At least not in the No. 1 position for the state with the highest number of meth labs per capita. That's one issue he's taking up, and as Attorney General the republican would like to see more preventative measures taking place Instead of reactionary measures. "We need a sense of community. We need to look out for each other," Shurtleff said. "If someone's cooking a meth lab in the dorm room down the hall, we need to be aware." But Chief Deputy Atty. Gen. Reed Richards is well aware of those problems, having promised, when he first announced his can- ' didacy more than a year ago, to work with state agencies to combat that problem. Richards, who used to teach at WSU. has a lot of notches in his belt for putting away people as Weber County Attorney and as next in command to Jan Graham, the only democrat elected to a state-wide position. Shurtleff wants to focus on servicing state agencies and eliminating any duplication in time and money spent on outside attorneys. Richards continues Graham's quest for autonomy sought away from the office by the Utah Legislature. "1 firmly believe we are an independent state agency and as an elected state official I have to have some autonomy," Richards said as quoted in the "The Salt Lake Tribune." US Senate C A N D I r a Scott Howell, Democrat Current state senator, said, if elected, he will stay in office for two terms. His campaign slogan mimics Hatch's slogan 24 years ago, "What do you call a senator who's been in Washington for 24 years? You call him home." T E S r ""Tl 1 -vv ' ' n z 9 Orrin Hatch, Republican United States Senator for 24 years, is playing a lead role to simplify the U.S. tax code and provide relief for Utahns. He is taking a strong stand against Napster and disgracing the American flag. Homeowners with money worries may qualify for low-interest loans LOANS: Dirtct lender kxKftu its require- credit?

I haven't really been following the governor race, but I think his policies are more efficient. He's a better leader, he shows more leadership qualities and he looks good in jeans." Nicole Jeppsen "I think I'm voting for Bill Orton. I was just listening to him on the radio and he was talking about how UT uses the least amount of money for students. He was talking about how he is going to change that. I just like his views." Sean Milner "I've only heard a little bit about Bill Orton, so I'll probably vote for Mike Leavitt. He's done a pretty good job so far." . " ... I i I '' l y x"y l''"J ' f Sarah Doliwa " actually have paid more attention to the presidential candidates, not the the governor's. But I've never had a problem with Mike Leavitt." Jodie Pullman " have no clue. I usually don't vote. I'm not really into politics." Tim Bradbury "I'm kind of leaning toward Bill Orton because it's time for a change. Mike Leavitt has had quite a good track record so far, and that is the only thing keeping me undecided."
