Agency Seeks Authority To Be Stockholder @ Continued from B-1 and-loan regulator during the height of the industry’s fraud-rid- dled collapse in the ate 1980s. Now, the quest to expand UTFC’s investment opportunities is drawingcriticism. Claire Geddes, Utah director of Ross Perot’s United We Stand America opposes any tampering with the state constitution to clear the way for UTFCstock subscrip- tion “T see this more and more in Utah, where you don’t know where business ends and government begins,” Geddessaid. “It happenslittie by little, and all of a sudden you wake up one day and you have corporations getting huge amounts of corporate welfare and citizens being teid they shouldn't be entitled to that same benefit,” she said. UTFC's Welty said the proposed change “isn’t going to change fundamentally what the organization does.” But Welty said UTFC,andindirectly the state, is losing potentially “millions of dollars” be- moneyundera fixedrateofinterest, which prevents UTFC from enjoying the windfall when one of its companies occasionally realizes big profits. Every year, UTFC turns to the Legislature for funding.It has received about $2 million in general-fund monies during each of the past two fiscal years. In 1992, UTFC directorscreated a private foundation they thought they could use to get aroundthe constitutional ban on stock subscriptions, The foundation dan estimated $1.2 million in stock from more than 15 companies. Welty insists the only money involved in stock acquisition was private funds — from donations and private venture investments ~~ that his agency contrels. But, more than a year ago, the state auditor questionedthe legal- Gen. Paul Van Dam andex-state Financial Institutions Director George Sutton to lobby its interests before thestate. ity of similar foundations used by the University of Utah and other institutions. Regardless of the opinion, Welty said a constitutional amendmentis the only guaranteeagainst future legal problems. Last winter, UTFC imposed a moratorium on acquiring new stock in its foundation, after the issue was referred to Atty. Gen. “There’s a cloud. Even with the foundation, the question will al Jan Graham for a legal opinion. That moratorium remains in place, awaiting the formalopinion, Welty said. UTFC has hired former Atty. ways be, can wereally do this Welty said. “I would rather have UTFC not have any issues hang- ing out there.” EASTERN CULTURAL NIGHT ypRAXLAR (Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival) Date: 9-9-95 } et " I ys In this ex's aiverliaoriont wo show the Sony Playstation.
