According to the Foundation, the new taxes imposed were needed to fund an increase in state spending. State salary increases totaling 10.5 percent played an important role in these higher expenditure levels. Of the salary raise, 4.55 percent will be in the form of an across-the-boar- d salary boost effective July 1, 1982, 3.95 percent will be to pay the balance of the employees retirement contribution, and 2 percent will be to fund the annual merit increase for state employees. Beginning July 1, 1982, the state will be paying 17.9 percent for the employee retirement program plus an added 6.7 percent for federal social security. Thus, state 'costs for employee retirement now will be nearly 25 percent of state salaries in Utah. , Total spending authorized by the 1982 Legislature for fiscal year the 1982-8- 3 amounted to $1,874,184,400, according to the Foundation report. This sum was only $5.8 million or 0.3 percent below the amount recommended by the Governor, but spending priorities were somewhat different. The appropriated legislature more for higher education, health, and social services, but less for local schools, capital outlay, transportation, and natural resources. ' As has been the case during most recent years, the bulk of the new spending in Utah for 1982-8- 3 will be for education.

Foundation analysts point out that Utahs 1982 budget session enacted legislation that will trim unemployment insurance costs by $6.6 million and reduce unemployment taxes by $1.4 million. Among other things, the new law will freeze the taxable, wage base at $12,000 for one year and will allow firms establised . te Arches National Park par- ticipated in a telephone interview teaching expedience this week through a program by Gulf Junior High School at New Port Richey, Florida.
