Show i I 2 The Satina Sun .Wednesday, June 16, 1993 Death blow to commercial owners? property stroke The a pen. In helping to solve the recent dispute over whether or not Salina City should amend the citys zoning ordinance, Mike Jorgensen, Salina City Attorney, may have dealt a death blow to commercial property owners. As an effort to assist the city to allow Dr. Barry Sorenson the privilege to move off of State Street, and into a building in a residential area, Jorgensen suggested that the Zoning Ordinances for Residential 1 and Residential 2, be amended to allow any professional service that did not manufacture or sell a product be allowed into the residential area. This sounds nice, but where is the incentive for professionals to invest in commercial real estate in the downtown business district? This would allow an insurance sales professional the right to apply for and be granted a conditional use permit to work out of hisher home. That saves on expenses. If the town were to attract a psychologist, chiropractor or other professional, they could be allowed the same variance. It could also allow other variances such as massage parlors, child care centers, not just a young mother sitting a few children, but a home converted to watch large numbers of children. Under some interpretation, could adjust my business, and move into the residential area. It would save the mortgage, lights, gas, water, and create another empty lot on Main Street. am glad the good doctor can move his practice. That follows the voice of the large group attending the public hearing. am, however, sad for those who own commercial buildings and would like to either sell them or at least rent them out to professionals. The incentive for an individual to operate outside of their home could be taken away, by the stroke of a hard Energy tax hits Utah especially will hit Utah The Administrations goal of middle-incom- Wendy DeMille Becky Hales hit hard. The tax would cost the average Utah family of four $475 per year in new direct and indirect energy taxes. Estimates are that the BTU tax would cost Utah citizens, businesses, institutions and government $184 million in direct energy cost increases. It would increase the cost of gasoline, electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, coal, and virtually every product that requires energy to pro- duce.

Orrin Hatch, along with members of the Utah Congressional delegation and Governor Mike Leavitt, sponsored a bill to exchange about 200,000 acres off school mist lands with the U.S. Government. At the time of Utahs statehood in 1896, Congress dedicated 19 of Utahs total acreage for the support of the common schools, according to Hatch. And though Utah spends more on education -$60 million - as a percent of its total budget than any other state in the nation, Hatch said the amount spent per child is lower than any other state. S ince the federal government owns nearly 70 percent of Utahs lands, the vast majority of state inholdings are completely surrounded lands. by federally-reserve- d getting the federal budget deficit under control deserves the support of all Americans, but the Clinton energy tax proposal seems to be a classic case of the cure being worse then the disease. The BTU tax levied on the BTU, or heat content of energy - would increase consumer Amerie prices, hurt cans, destroy jobs, hit western states harder than others, and hamstring American competitiveness in world markets. Utah would be especially -- I pen. be exempt. The tax harder than most other states because Utahs businesses and indusbetry are energy intensive, and travel cause Utah citizens must great distances. Utahs agricultural econwill Utahs omy will be devastated, as tourist industry. Both are highly dependent on energy. The indirect cost in lost jobs, tax base, tourism, and businessin-dustr- y slow up could be into the hundreds of millions. This proposed tax could be accurately described as the largest tax increase Utahns have ever faced. I urge every Utah citizen to become fully aware of what the BTU tax will do to them and their families. If you dont agree with it write or call your U.S. Senators. Even though the House Vote passed the BTU tax on May 27, let your Congressman know how you feel about their vote on the BTU tax and other tax increases in the Presidents budget package. The Senate will be considering this legislation sometime in June. It is hoped Senator Hatch and Senator Bennett will stand firm in their opposition to this bill that will hurt Utah citizens and the Utah econ- Editor of Katrina Shelly Reese Rasmussen The BTU tax would have a significant cost impact on every aspect of Utahs society. It will raise energy costs 5 to 10 for school districts, universities, hospitals, state and local government, and all citizens from the elderly and the poor to the rich and middle class. None will omy. s Jim Peacock, Executive Director Utah Petroleum Association Four NSHS girls return Gunnison Facility invites from attending Girls State all to attend Open House Four North Sevier High School Junior girls have just returned home from attending Utah Girls State on the campus of Southern Utah University, Cedar City.
