Show Land tlo im$m Thome . m & -. ft "Land use saws are a slick gimmick i yzix property rights," says Los Armeies area radio personality, Ron Wright. Wright, who is on tee national lecture circuit for The Ameri-:an Ameri-:an Opinion Speakers Bureau, will be speaking In Orem en May sta at ?;38 p.m. at the Orem Jr. High School, 7S5 No. 600 W. on the subject of "WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CONSTI-TUION? CONSTI-TUION? -ASK THE REGIONAL REGION-AL COMMISSAR!" i Ke says that "Land use bills are sprouting like weeds all ovzi mar America. These are designed to destroy local government and our right to private property." Wright, who is also a consultant to the Newport New-port Harbor Costa Mesa Board cf Realtors in Southern California, Califor-nia, contends that "While Nixon has been using rhetoric about decentralizing the power ot government, he has quietly circumvented cir-cumvented the Constitution, centralizing more and more power In Washington." "This is being done," says Wright, "through revenue sharing, shar-ing, iand use laws and regional government. The federal power grab is to be enforced by grants-in-aid to local governments. "These," he contends, "carry with them conditions and controls. con-trols. Make no mistake about it," cautions Wright. "He who pays the piper calls the tune. Federal aid Is federal control." "For example," says Wright, "in his State of the Union Message Mes-sage in 1971, Nixon faithfully pushed the recommendations of a Rockefeller task force report on land use. Nixon announced that, in addition to a 'grant' program to promote land control con-trol programs by the states, he wanted federal sanctions against states failing to pass legislation 'to regulate the siting of key facilities such as airports, air-ports, highways, and major private developments'. Thw 'sanctions' are the threat of . withholding 'grant funds or blackmail," reminds Wright. "A bill by Senator Jackson of Washington attempting to carry out this power grab passed the Senate, but was recently defeated defeat-ed in the House Rules Committee." Commit-tee." Wright warns, "Presently there is a similar land use bill sleeping in the House. It is HR-11325 HR-11325 by Arizona Congressman, SamSteiger." - Federal grants are now being funneled through Ten Federal Regions established in February,. Feb-ruary,. 1872, by Presidential Executive Order No.; Ils47. "These regions would merge local and state governments into in-to mere dependencies cf an u-.e-lected federal regional council," charges Wright "You are no longer a Utahn but a Region Eighter." ; "Through this process," says Wright, "your property rights, your right to build, your taxes, your local police and your God- given rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution are becoming subject to the whims of appointed regional commissars. commis-sars. Thes commissars are responsible to Washington because that's where their paychecks pay-checks come from. This amounts to taxation without representation."

He said, "Their funds have been poured into something called 'The Public Administration Administra-tion Clearing House, located at 1313 E. Sixtieth Street in Chicago. Chica-go. This facility is also known as Metro Central and has fS branches, each of which is aimed at a different sector of ( state and local government. The result is that practically every segment of local government is unknowingly propagandized by Metro to endorse consolidation, land controls, regionalism and revenue sharing," According to Wright, included in the multitude of Metro's arms are: The American Society for Public Administration, American Ameri-can Society of Planning Officials, Offi-cials, the Council of State Governments, the National Association As-sociation of Counties, the Federation Feder-ation of Tax Administrators, International In-ternational City Managers' Association, As-sociation, The National Association Associa-tion of Attorneys General and The Municipal Finance Officers Association. "Through their publicatons," claims Wright, "these organizations organiza-tions subtly promote their common com-mon goal of a centralized dictatorship dicta-torship administered through Regional Government." Ron Wright urges citirens who value their property rights and the concept of local government responsible to the community it serves, to investigata far them selves too what degree their own local governments are being influenced by the Regional Region-al Bureaucracy.
