Box 1059 Monticello, Utah 84535 (801) 587-219- 8 It has not been a part time job, said County Attorney Bruce Halliday in a speech to the Monticello Chamber of Commerce Tuesday. Halliday reviewed his experiences since taking office then answered questions from Chamber members. Hallidays most challenging criminal cases involved a murder in at La Sal and a Moab that came under San Juan rape-kidn- ap jurisdiction. Outstanding civil suits were related to taxation and beer licensing. Tax suits include 1) the action by Atlas Minerals and others to recover improperly assessed taxes, which the county lost; 2) the decision by county commisioners to sue the state, along with other counties, over tax factoring, which is still under consideration; 3) a suit now in the federal courts against San Juan County, the state of Utah, the Navajo Tribe, the Department of the Interior and others to prevent Indian tribes from receiving authority to tax mineral rights. The question of Indian tribes taxing power has been brought forth in suits in Arizona and New Mexico. There is currently such a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Halliday, who has worked with the State Attorney General on the Utah suit, believes it may go to the Supreme Court because it raises questions that have not been presented in previous suits. The courts decision to return beer licenses to establishments in Montezuma Creek which were removed by county commissioners has Halliday reviewing beer or- dinances. He plans to write more specific provisions for initial granting, or subsequent terminating, of licenses. Halliday was involved with the formation of a special service district of Mexican Hat to allow residents to seek grants for public works projects; has successfully pursued runaway fathers who fail to support their children herejhas several paternity cases pending and is drafting new personnel policies for county employees. I have surely enjoyed this job, remarked Halliday. It has been good experience.
