X- LeBaron hopes Hadley favors f for 4th term Don LeBaron feelshehas served three successful terms as the Utah Representative from District 58 -and is hoping local voters will agree and send him back for a fourth term. "I hope the voters will consider me," LeBaron said. "I don't care what city they live in, their religion or their color. I am interested in them and I will do my very best to represent their interests." LeBaron is being challenged for the first time from within his Republican Party, as Alpine resident Greg Hadley is also runningfor the seat from District 58. The winner will face La Von Laursen in the general election in November. LeBaron feels his terms have been effective, with an 80 percent success rate in getting legislation he has sponsored through the House and Senate and into law.

I try to get bills that are good ideas that people can support and understand," he limiting govt. llliwlilplsiMlli BiiiswiiRiiiiiiiii Don LeBaron Current efforts by LeBaron includes the sale of property near the Utah State Training School which is owned by the State Department of Social Services but which is not currently being used.

LeBaron has some specific ideas about what he would like to do in a fourth term. "I would like to work with education to try to upgrade it and help it do a better job," he said, including that legislative fun dinghas made it possible to implement programs such as the extended day program at several local elementary schools to teach more kids in fewer classrooms. He would also like to do more in the area of economic development, "where we've been able to get our tax base a little higher instead of llliiftllll 'Take The Heat Off With A Deluxe Day & Night Air Conditioner And A 400 Rebate." m nomination Representative District 58 in Tuesday's Primary election. Hadley is campaigning as a conservative candidate, and favors limiting government on all levels. "I feel I have a good understanding of the spirit of America as echoed in our constitution," Hadley said. "I would have to say that the state legislature as a whole doesn't have a firm grip on what a constitutional government is. We have gotten rather far flung, involved in more programs than we should." That's a viewpoint he feels he shares with other residents ofUtah County. "I have talked to three or four thousand people over the last few months and I have found that the people of this district are very conservative Hadley said. "They want less government in their lives." The solution to too much government involvement, Hadley says, is to replace it with community involvement. "What I would like is a spirit of community effort rather than always looking to the Hill for answers," he said. An example of government extending itself into the private sector is the Utah Transit Authority currently operating in Provo. "I don't think it's a proper func- - fice in Provo, he donates his time as a Judge Pro Tern in the Fourth Circuit Court in American Fork, Small Claims Division. He lives in Alpine with his Patricia Curtis, and their four Greg Hadley tion of government to transport its citizens," he said. As a fiscal conservative, Hadley supports the idea behind the three initiative petitions which will appear on this year's ballot, but not necessarily the motive behind the state's tax revolt movement. He particularly favors Initiative C, which would give tax credits to family who send their children to private schools. The increased competition from the private sector would be good for public education, he said, and if enough students enroll in private schools, the state will begin to realize some money savings. The other moves he typifies as reactionary, and aimed at returning tax dollars rather than limiting government, which he sees as the real need. As a representative, Hadley says he would listen to the people, and keep the lines of communication open. He promises regular town meetings before and after each legislative session to find out Prepare your home for the long, hot days of summer with a Day & Night central air conditioner.
