While Cook here, Mr. Cook talked with War ren Johnson, President of the Bus inessmen's Association; many cltl zens and Mayor Mayer. cook says wilson's bonding proposal to get jobs is a big government almost sxialistic approach to Utah's economy Since 1376 Utah has added more than $1.25 billion In Utah State Government debt, and Wilson's plan is to just keep adding to it. Total debt in 1985 (as listed by the VS. Bureau of the Census, State 5, Government Finances in 1955, Speaking to the Payson Chamber of Commerce, Merrill Cook said today that an overwhelming majority of Utahns now realize we need a new governor to get Utah's economy moving. "But before Utah jumps from the frying pan into the fire with Ted Wilson, citizens need to realize just how left of center, d, government-dominateand almost socialistic Ted Wilson's plans are," Cook continued. "Wilson not only refuses to lower Utah's higher than high taxes to spur private sector Jobs growth, but he now wants to band to the tune of $150 million to Create government financed Jobs in the tradition of the old New Deal WPA days. Adding $150 million in public debt next year is Just like bitting us with another tax hike as big as the Governor's was last year, only this time with interest. Who is Wilson trying to tool when he says It wont cost the taxpayers anything." Cook as ked. Cook claimed Utah has had the fastest growth in state government debt and bonding than any state In tr'at-lve- ly tie U.S. In 1975 Utah low government debt. Today, after ten years of unbelievable growth In debt, Utah's total debt is very high for a state this size. iCook said, "Hampton kept Utah's debt low, He left office in 1975 with total debt under $100 million. PROPOSED WTIHDRflHL 3,512 OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND 1970-198- (185, No. 3, 9F-7- 0, 9F-6- 5, Table 16) shows Utah's total state government debt to be $1,333,302, 000. That Is a hundred-thirt- y three percent Increase in debt load over ten years and explains why we're now budgeting tetween $65 million and $77 million In debt servicing cost each year. I guess- - Wilson just isnt worried about another $150 million febt. bonding, but this . in long-tercould bankrupt Utah",' said Cooi. Cook's plan is to create jobs and stimulate Utah's economy by using free -- enterprise, private sector concepts. Cook believes that using the present surplus as a jumping-o- ff point to putting major tax reduction into force will help create the business climate to allow expansion of existing business and eatice otber businesses to Utah. Cook thinks Utah's next governor should strengthen t's vrivtif- sadar and get ibe pendulum swlmging back that way. "The government's larger take of Utah's economic pie over the past decade has simply been crowding out private business systems in charge in Utah, not big government advocates," Cook concluded. m I! - WIND DAMAGE The proposed withdrawal of 3,512 of public land designated as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern was recently announced by Kemp Conn, Acting Utah State Director for the Bureau of Land Management. According to Conn, the purpose of the withdrawal Is to better preserve and manage significant recreational, educational and scientific resources of the Tabernacle Kill volcanic field. Tabernacle Hin,"TocatedJ'ist off ten miles southwest cl Fillmore, offers a combination of volcanic features that are unique in the western VJS. The lava field consists of a tuff ring, caldera, spatter cones, pit craters, pressure ridges, a maze of lava tubes and other geologic features. The proposed withdrawal would preclude all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the roln-li- g law, sabVct to valid uses. The area would also be closed to vehicle use except on designated roads and the discharge of firearms would be prohibited. Livestock graing and wildlife habitat management would be allowable. However, recreation, environmental education and scientific study would comprise the dominant uses of the Tabernacle Hill field. A maiageme.it plan for development of the volcanic field was developed in Septemler, 1977 by the Warm Springs Resource Area Office in Fillmore. Proposed recreation developments for the area include the construction of 2 12 miles of interpretive trail, construction of 1 12 miles of access road and a parking loop, and development of a small outdoor interpretive display and picnic area contingent upon available funding.
