The same firm commissioned commis-sioned to design UVU's The proper Editor: s The last several sessions of the Utah Legislature have sought to pass various vari-ous measures attempting to limit the authority of our cities and locales to control their own destiny. One of the first bills was an effort by then Senate President Alma Mansell, a major real estate industry figure, to limit or prohibit local planning plan-ning and zoning functions that affect developers. Last year saw the disastrous bill by Mel Brown, giving developers the ability to incorporate their property into their own city without any input from the county government or neighbors, and without even requiring agreement by any of the other 100 required named landowners. We have three of these monstrosities pending in court actions in Wasatch County and Speaker Curtis has refused to allow any "fixes" to the bill this year. This year we are faced with the most insidious bill yet...a bill to privatize any government activity or property that competes with a developerentrepreneur. developerentre-preneur. Craig Frank, (R) Pleasant Grove, has introduced intro-duced bills that require cities cit-ies to sell their golf courses to developers. Close and sell their fitness centers.

Close equestrian centers so the "private" sector would not face competition. Obviously Obvi-ously this is like cracking Ft. Knox for developers who are salivating over some of the choicest real estate in every municipality. municipal-ity. Frank was quoted as saying "we need to step back and determine what is government's responsibility responsi-bility and what is private sectors." (SLTrib 129). Let's do that. The principles of the Republican Re-publican Party and democratic demo-cratic government in general gen-eral have always been to have decision-making at the level closest to the people. peo-ple. For the State Legislature Legisla-ture to dictate how our cities cit-ies are run, how we choose to zone and plan, and what life enhancing benefits we choose to offer in our communities com-munities is dead wrong. Un-American.

What is not proper is for State legislators, who perhaps haven't even been to the communities they are seeking to dominate, to pass laws about what we can or can't do in our home communities. It's not proper to turn our jewels and treasures into multiuse developments or private expensive and exclusive facilities. It goes against everything the formerly Grand Old Party ever stood for. It is bad policy. We know that the huge contributors expect a payback. pay-back. We know that the ",'7IUIOMES from $204,' : CANY at CLIFFROSE .
