Miss Miller, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Miller, was a member of Bear River for High schools two years. Miss Scott, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Scott, Fielding, was chosen a cheerleader. Miss Scott, who will be a sophomore at USU, has had three years of cheerleading experience. year. This was the conclusion reached in a fiscal analysis of the 1977 legislative session just prepared by Utah foundation, the private governmental research organization. The study shows that Utah was able to balance its budget for the coming year and still provide some tax relief, especially to the elderly poor. Altogether, the tax changes made should save Utahns up to $8.2 million next year. Among the taxes reduced were the inheritance tax, the sales tax on residential heating and lighting bills, and the proe perty tax paid by elderly home owners and renters. On the other hand, because of changes made last year, the unemployment tax paid by employers will rise this year. Budget Total State spending programs authorized for the 1977-7fiscal 8 year will total nearly $1,016,000,000. According to the foundation report, this amount is about $67.4 million more than the teg amount approved for the current (1976-77- ) fiscal year. Most of the new spending authorized for next year is for education, with increased also going for social service programs and for state employee salary adjustments. The study notes that next years appropriations for transportation were cut substantially, but the current year trans- portation authorizations had been inflated somewhat by the release of previously-impounde- d federal funds for highway purposes. The approved legislative program calls for a budget that will leave a razor-thi- n balance of only $139,000 at the close of the 1977-7- 8 fiscal year. Foundation analysts observe that this could pose a problem if revenue collections fail to reach the rather optimistic estimates employed in achieving the balance. It was pointed out, however, that the legislature did leave itself a cushion when it placed $5,000,000 into a reserve fund to be used for emergency drought purposes, if and when needed.

Previous studies by Utah foundation and the legislative fiscal analyst have revealed that the present program will result in dramatic increases in benefits and costs in future years. A January report by the foundation disclosed that the present program will require state and local retirement contributions exceeding billion annually by the year 1986. A total of 954 bills and resolutions were considered by the 1977 Utah legislature. Of these, 369 were approved by both houses. The governor, however, vetoed 15 of the enacted bills after the legislature had adjourned, leaving 354 measures that will finally become law.
