Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday September JO, 1992 Not one Utahn would intentionally give up the right to vote. But whether they realize it or not, this is a choice all Utah voters will be making November 3. Initiative A, the horse racing measure appearing on Novembers ballot, gives the people of each county the right to vote on a local issue. The initiative simply authorizes the voters of each county to decide in a sepa- rate county election whether pari-mutu- wager- el ing at horse races held within their own county. It does not legalize parimutuel wagering it just legalizes county elections on wagering. In addition to giving the people of each county the right to vote, Initiative A creates a Utah Horse Racing Commission to regulate horse racing throughout the pari-mutu- el state and to regulate parimutuel wagering in any county that approves it. This will give Utah a quality racing program of which horse owners and racing fans can be proud. Currently, the National Quarter Horse Association and other national organizations that sanction horse Letters To The Editor The Record welcomes letters from its readers on any subject of public interest.

Thank you. Dear Editor: We just wanted to take a minute to compliment the youth in the Junior Livestock Program. We partic- ipated in a buy-bac- pro- k gram this year, purchasing a steer from a buyer who had bought one at the Junior Livestock auction held at the county fair in August. It has been a long time since we have had meat this good. We are very happy and pleased, and want to tell the youth of the Junior Livestock Program to keep up the good work - you are producing an excellent product.

The initiative also will promote economic development, generate revenue for the Utah Education Fund, and keep recreational dollars and public revenues at home that are now being spent in Idaho and Wyoming. In short, it will mean more jobs and less taxes for Utahns. In essence, any Utahn who votes against Initiative A is voting against his or her own right to vote, against the horse breeders right to continue their heritage, and against the right of our counties to expand their local economies and run their own communi- ties.
