Show Golden C. Sill Democratic legislative candidate Golden C. Sill of Layton is opposed to major tax cuts because of the effect he says it would have on public services. Im concerned about cutting any public services; police, road maintenance ... so Im against changing the tax structure very much from what it is now," Sill said. The Layton native? is running for the State Representative seat against incumbent Franklin W. Knowlton of Layton, a Republican. Sill said he is opposed to Inititiatives A and B on the November ballot because, from all indications, their passage would hurt the schools. Initiative A would remove the 4 percent state sales tax on food; and Initiative B would limit property taxes to 1 percent of fair market value, with fair market value defined as that shown on property owners tax bill under market value. Sill, a school principal for 16 years, said he also is against granting Gov. Scott Mathesons request that all public school systems reduce expenditures by 2.5 percent to help overcome a deficit in the state budget because the schools are hurting now. Another concern of Sill is expansion. of the restricted area southeast of Hill Air Force Bases main runway. The Air Force would like to prevent heavy residential buildup in the area between Ft. Lane and Fairfield Road from .Highway 193 to Antelope Drive, the candidate indicated, but not enough money has been appropriated by the State Legislature to purchase the needed easements. The state should allocate more money to buy the easements, according to Sill. I want Hill Field to be protected so they dont move away from here. Sill is concerned about the lack of affordable housing in Utah. The average newlywed couple cant afford to buy a home, he said. We need to change that, and give a boost to the housing industry. The Democratic candidate said he does not know specifically how to encourage the contstruction of cheap housing through the Legislature, adding, Ill have to check into it. GOLDEN C. SILL Other concerns of Sill include providing better care for senior citizens and giving more support to police officers by handing down and 'enforcing stiff sentences for criminals.
