Show 2C Standard-Examine- r Dec 9 1989 Saturday Metro Additional money needed for Utah’s poor children By CHARLES F TREMTELMANI Standard Eiawief SALT LAKE CITY — It will take another $7 million in funding to meet the social needs of poor children in the state the L’tah Children advocacy group said Friday The group is making the request although it savs it doesn't know where the Legislature will get the money Utah Children Executive Director Rosalind McGee said Lawmakers promised in September when they enacted a $35 million tax cut that there would be enough money left over for the state's needs she said “and it should be up to the Legislature to make revenues meet the needs" Utah Children is a advocacy group for children It champions the needs of welfare children the mentally ill and children in foster homes In a press conference Friday at the stale Capitol McGee and Utah Children board president Irene Fisher introduced their agenda for the session of the Legislature that convenes next month The critical needs they said non-prof- it are: Funding to continue 'the state's Medically Needy Program now threatened because of differences between the state and federal government as to how the program should be managed Fisher and McGee said the final cost could approach $1 million to keep the program alive inA 4 percent crease for welfare recipients at a cost of $859000 Almost all welfare recipients in Utah are mothers with two or more children Ten additional child welfare workers at a cost of $357000 Fifteen additional support staff for child welfare workers at cost-of-livi- of $375000 These would relieve welfare workers of some of the paperwork that prevents them from working with chila cost dren An increase in foster care pro- vider payments at a cost of $236000 Additional funding for the Early Intervention Program to serve handicapped infants and toddlers at a cost of $ million to $3 million Additional funding for mental health programs for children at a cost of about $1 million Fisher said she didn’t want to say any one of those needs was 1 administration she said more urgent than the others but singled out the medically needy program for emphasis The program part of Medicaid provides funding for ill children whose parents are unable to pay medical costs An estimated 500 children per month use it in Utah she said “The program is in jeopardy It is the opinion of Utah Children that if this program is eliminated it will be a tragedy and we will feel the effects for years to l “And as always there's a tance on the part of the state td feel they are being coerced into carrying out a program" McGee said Utah Children considers its agenda the bare minimum to meet the needs of the children but said she is aware that the state's education pro-- i grams seem on a steamroller mis- sion to take all the attention of the Legislature “We challenge the Legislature to meet the needs and if there should be a need for more revenues we ask them to support come" The program is mired in a dispute between Utah and the federal over its government that" What’s happening ygr pm Ruth Pierpont Eccles Your Community Connection munity Room 2261 Adams Ave

By AMY JOI BRYSON Utah’s federal employees have signed away more than a million dollars of their spare change for the next year as part of their participation in the 1990 Utah Combined Federal Campaign The campaign raises money — chiefly through payroll deductions — for a variety of charitable organizations Coordinator Van Nelson said the campaign solicited participation from approximately 113 federal agencies in Utah involving some 42000 employees Sixty percent of those employees designated payroll deductions for CFC recipient organizations he said This year's campaign launched in October has raised $125 million so far with 95 percent of the agencies involved reporting collection efforts Nelson said g He said the effort is up $300000 from last year “The campaign has gone great this year We had 1750 people who made contributions of $250 or more" he said Nelson said this is the first year the campaign has been conducted Elder Mark Daniels as a single statewide effort to raise monies for charitable organizations In the past efforts have been divided into campaigns focused on the Salt Lake City area the Ogden Rescue Mission While the recipient groups are described as “health and human services" organizations contributors may elect to donate money to Provo and southern Utah and conservation Northern Utah Gary Lunt another CFC coordinator said the consolidated campaign has resulted in participation from areas of the state that organizers previously were unable to reach “We had three people down in Torrey near Capitol Reef who were able to donate" Lunt said The CFC designates an individual with each federal agency to act as coordinator for that facility’s participation in the campaign Nelson said Employees are introduced to CFC goals and recipient agencies through a locally produced video detailing aspects of the campaign Employees can choose to have their payroll deduction designated to a variety of charitable organizations The deductions begin in January The 1847 possible recipient agencies include everything from the American Lung Association to groups like the World Wildlife Fund and the Environmental Action Foundation Here’s a look at the
