Declares war: Orem City officially declares war on drug substance abuse with the proclamation of Red RibbonWeek. Signed by Orem City Mayor S. Blaine Willes, the proclamation asks all people of Orem to band together to tell illegal users, abusers and traffickers of controlled substances, Enough, We Have Had Enough, and declare an all-out war against those who illegally traffic in and abuse drugs. Supporters are asked to wear a red ribbon or red clothing and display a red ribbon conspiciously on their homes or vehicles during the week of May 18 through May 24. The proclamation cites drug trafficking and abuse for promoting organized crime and encouraging the abusers to perform criminal acts in order to sustain their habit. Users lose sight of the laws and moral values of society. Nations deeply involved in illicit drug trafficking in America are motivated not only by profit but by a desire to undermine the government of the United States, says the proclamation. Mayor Willes says, "Too many young people have been mentally deranged, permanently damaged, or have lost their lives due to abuse of controlled substances. Too much of the domestic tranquility of Americans has been turned to tears and heartache heart-ache by the insidious stupidity of illegal drugsubstance abusers." Democrat Convention Saturday At MVHS The Utah County Democratic Party will hold it Nominating Convention on Saturday, May 17, at the Mountain View High School in Orem. LaVon Laursen, vice chair of the county organization, is general chairperson of the convention. She has announced that registration of delegates elected at Mass Meetings on April 28, 1986 will begin at 12 noon. The convention will be called to order at 1 p.m. by Dr. Ken Creer, chairman of the Utah County party . Tom Barberi, radio personality and newspaper columnist, will be the keynote speaker. He will combine politics and humor in his SI Cut services of hike taxes. That seems to be the bottom line as Orem City considers the proposed budget for fiscal year 1986-87. The tentative budget will be adopted June 3. If accepted, ac-cepted, the cost to citizens would be about $80 more per household per year. . City Manager Daryl Berlin says the budget is "conservative." He said, "Department requests were considerably con-siderably higher before we weeded them down." . Berlin suggests raising the franchise fran-chise tax from its current 2 percent to 4 percent along with a 1 mill increase in-crease in property taxes to meet the needs of the city. He says the increases are needed need-ed to help offset the loss of $1.2 million in Federal Revenue Sharing funds. "This year's budget proposal has . been difficult to prepare in light of the continually changing status of Federal Revenue Sharing," says Berlin. The City expects $400,000 during dur-ing the first two quarters of next year and then will be cut off, he said. The FRS funds currently are placed in the Department of Public Safety as part of their operational costs. Last year City officials requested maintaining the Franchise Tax at 3 percent in anticipation of the revenue loss by City Council members voted instead to lower the Franchise to 2 percent as a measure of "good faith" to show the people of Orem the City keeps its promises.
