differences now besides the additional money in the House version” Jenson said “Many people have worked together toward this Senate action” Gov Mike Leavitt said Federal “funding for Utah roads would be nearly doubled over the six-yeperiod Now we will work unitedly to get House approval of this legislation” Both bills allow Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater to take extra money from his approximately $200 million in annual discretionary funds and send it to Utah to help fund transportation projects related to the 2002 Olympic Winter Games Utah had been hoping for as much as $450 million in discretionary money by the end of the 2001 calendar year In addition the House bill also contains extra language aimed at allowing Utah to qualify for other federal funds from a High-co-

work on Interstate 15 between Layton and Ogden waiting for Congress to pass the bill called the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act or ISTEA “But if it doesn’t come until after May we’ll probably have to hold off on putting those projects out for bid this spring” Topham said Nancee Blockinger spokeswoman for Utah Congressman Jim Hansen said the House transportation bill is not on next week’s agenda But she said it is still possible the representatives could get it to the floor before the three-wee- k Easier recess which begins April 2 “We don’t have a definite deadline yet” said

somebody a ticket or breaking up a family dispute” he said In Ogden only 20 percent of police officers live inside the city limits Police Chief Jon Greiner said many moved to the suburbs years ago when they had young families to raise “Usually the cost of housing is an issue” he said “They can get a newer larger house in a bedroom community” As a department head Greiner is required to live in Ogden But he’s done his share of as well “I bought a home in Roy and then moved to South Ogden and then built a home in Ogden” he said Salt Lake City officials found the same objections when they tried a mandatory residency requirement with police officers several years ago “It was too expensive to live in the city” said Beth Vance the Salt Lake City human resource office manager “We did it for a Living From 1A residency requirements theoretically could limit the pool for job applicants especially if people are in neighboring cities So far that hasn’t been a problem for Ogden which enacted a residency policy for its top employees in 1996 Only two Ogden department directors live outside the city limits Those two owned homes in other cities before the rule went into effect ”If they sold their homes they would be required to move here” said Jim Bristow the city’s human resource director Some city employees find residents see them as city representatives even when at church or at social events That can be uncomfortable for those who want to put their work aside when they leave the office Hendrickson said that problem hasn’t cropped up with him yet But he said it’s a

apprised of the situation” Caine said But that view of the extradition treaty could possibly leave anyone “free to kill in this country without facing the death penalty if they can flee to Mexico” Deputy Weber County Attorney Bill Daines countered The treaty can’t be invoked by individuals Daines argued but only by the nations involved and Mexico has not complained Caine said afterward he had contacted Mexican officials about that possibility but is doubtful of getting any response Daines said Garcia could have availed himself of the treaty’s possible protection but he didn't and “the law is if you voluntarily return it doesn't matter what you might have done” Caine argued that because Weber County officials were able to contact the US Border Patrol and convince officers to let Gar cia cross the border without a passport it was not a completely voluntary crossing If Garcia had been detained at the border under the normal policy he would have been arrested and advised of his rights regarding the extradition treaty and likely would not be charged with the death penalty offense now Caine said Daines told the judge the fact the state “afforded the voluntary crossing does not make it any less voluntary” “Take that for what it is your honor It’s absurd” Caine responded Caine also asked the judge to suppress Garcia’s alleged confession to a pair of Ogden police detectives in the Arizona jail Caine said that because one of the officers spoke Spanish he served as interpreter when the situation deserved an independent interpreter not one bent on getting a confession from Garcia But Deputy Weber County Attorney Dean Saunders said the officers were extra careful and Garcia agreed to talk to the olfi-ccand waived his rights to an attorney four times His Miranda rights were given in both English and Spanish Saunders said “He wanted to rs Utah had been missing at least $91 million in federal transporta- tion funds this year as a result of the congressional impasse But if the House and Senate compromise at a figure near their new positions Stephens said Utah and the state’s taxpayers will be major beneficiaries “If we receive $500 million in new federal transportation money” through fiscal year 2003 Stephens said “it’ll take care of our needs” Standard-Examine- Joseph Kennedy li leaving politics the 8th District covering much of Boston and' The Associated Press
