The legislative history of this provision goes back to 1986 when there was no attorney living in Daggett County. The law provided that if an attorney was a resident of the county and indicated to the county commission that heshe wanted to be the county attorney, heshe had to be appointed as a resident of the county.

The question has been resubmitted to the attorney general's office again but because of the need to print ' . the ballots, the question is presently on the Grand. County ballot as prescribed by law. In the event the number of "no" voters exceeds the number of "yes" voters, the county commission will select the county attorney. However, the law is so vague that is does not specify whether the replacement county attorney will be selected by the commission sitting between the election and the swearing in on Jan. 7, d 1991, or whether the would a select commission county new county attorney in January. It has been pointed out that there is a gross inconsistency in having a requirement for a "yesno" vote on only the county attorney race when in Grand County this year there are nine other offices on the ballot which are unopposed. newly-seate- Mikes TV Mike's TV has opened store No. 2 in Moab.

This offer expires November 30, In Grand County there are four attorneys who are registered voters and in good standing with the Utah Bar. They arc Elaine Coates, the current county attorney, Sandra Starley, the public defender, William Benge, past county attorney, and William Schultz. Due to the fact that Mr. Schultz was disciplined by the bar associy ation with a suspension Jan. 12, 1990, an opinion was solicited from the Lt Governor's office and the Attorney General's office as to when the requirement for four attorneys in good standing who are registered voters had to be met. An opinion from Dave Hansen, of the Lt. Governor's office stated that the most logical date on which the conditions had to be met was the "date on which the man has proven to be one who studies issues, listens, and takes the time needed to make retionale decisions. He is the better choice because he will be flexible, responsive and fair. He answers to no special interest group, and unlike his opponent he believes that decisions made should be in the best interest of all, not special groups.
