Opposition to construction of the plant was in the definite minority here. State Sen. Dixie Leavitt, City, cited energy packages that were overwhelm mgly approved in the Utah Legislature, .This reflects the feeling of the people of this state," he said. He added that opposition to the plant is rare in southern Utah" and urged the Bureau of Land Management to give higher priority to the people of Utah. Criticism was heavy against those who wanted more time to study the project. We have been living with it for 12 years now, and, while we are not without concern for our environment, we are tired of said Merrill McDonald, Kane County waiting. commisionc--r and chairman of the Governor's Kaiparowits Planning and Development Advisory v Council.

Jerry Glazier of Kanab pointed out that the Federal Energy Commission wants energy development whb the Environmental Protection Agency is only interested in protecting the environment from energy development. Many residents attending the hearing contended that the plant would bolster the areas economy without causing a major adverse environmental effect. If it comes to the choice of whether my grandchildren have eating and living power, Im afraid the prairie dogs will have to wait, commented Jim Thomas, a Tropic, Garfield County, businessman.

Movie star Robert Bedford, who owns Sundance ski resort in Provo Canyon, sent a mailgram to the BLM opposing Kaiparowits. I have recently toured the Kaiparowits she and it is dear that the potential impacts ere enormous, Bedford wrote. The power plant would be by far the largest in the region, placed in an area now known primarily for its clean air, spectacular scenery and recreational opportunities. The Kaiparowits Power Plctut is certainly something to not rush into. in the state end he will tag their incorporation cards. If they arc suspended for not complying with the law.

Aftr the commission i evokes the license, Miller will hold a hearing to consider revocation of the charter, which could lead to bond forfeiture.

Horace Gailey, supervising auditor. State Tax Commission, said when his agency determines a private club is violating its charter, a franchise tax is imposed. He said his audit findings cannot be turned over to any other state agency for other action, under present law. Gailey said the council might want to recommend the law be changed to allow this. Barrett said that in his opinion, the law places the original responsibility for the private locker clubs on the secretary of state, but after incorporation papers are filed, the responsibility belongs to nobody. Maybe we shouldnt hone in on the it status, but rather the private clubs compliance with all liquor laws, he said. It was decided that the Liquor Commission will send Miller a list of all non-prof- 3 U. colleges get $2,500 in grants The Phillips Petroleum Co. has awarded grants to the University of Utah Colleges of Business, Engineering and Chtimstry totaling $2,500.

I Rampton added that he thought Hearns case had been conducted according to state procedures. The governor also disclosed that he asked State Public Safety Commissioner Raymond A. Jackson to investigate charges against Weber State College President Joseph Bishop 20 months ago. My inquiries then satisfied me that President Bishop is doing a good job, Rampton said. I think the institution of higher education handled their inquiries very well yesterday. Rampton said Jacksons investigation was confined to the wiretap charge. Rampton said he was aware of the friction between Bishop and WSC administrators and faculty members. I think the facts of the transition from a two-yeto a four-yecollege and the long illness o I President Miller (Bishops predecessor) caused initial problems for President Bishop, the governor said. But I have full confidence in him. Regarding the $8 million to $18 million state surplus, and Republican charges that Utahns are being overtaxed, Rampton acted, there always are Monday morning quarterbacks. Following the switch to the federal taxation system, a Republican legislature underestimated the adjustment necessary to bring state revenues into line, Rampton pointed out. He said he will not know if the latest adjustment by the current legislature is adequate until the end of the fiscal year. We have practically every kind of tax there is here in Utah, but none of those is excessively high I think the people of Utah are being reasonably taxed at this time, the governor said. He noted that a report by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights calling conditions on the Navajo Indian Reservation deplorable was no surprise. But we must bear in mind that there are some things we might not tolerate that are part of the Navajo tradition, the governor added. " I dont think we should impose occidental cultural values on them in the name of raising their living standards. Rampton said that he agreed with the commission's appraisal that the Bureau of Indian Affairs is not using its money to the maximum benefits. He also said the Navajo tribal leaders in Wmaow Hock, N.M., do not pay enough attention to Utah Navajos. . I have a feeling that the tribal council doesnt give the kind of consideration to its Utah constituents that it gives to those in Arizona or N.M., the governor said. ' For this reason, I look to the Utah-base- d Navajo Development Corp., rather than to Window Rock, for guidance. Regarding the landslide in Manti Canyon, the governor said that the current proposal by the U.S, Corps of Engineer is to accelerate dirt from the toe of the slide mio the canyon and keep the stream d Resources (compose! of seme 20 environmental groups) criticized the environmental impact statement, claiming Uiat il did not include all of the impact that could result from the project.
