Show Nolan Karras Pagt 14B, Lakeside Review, October 30, 1980 John Ulibarri E. ROY John E. Ulibarri, the Democratic candidate in District 9 for the l7tah House, says he has negative feelings' about Initiative B, the tax limitation measure on the ballot. Its inappropriate, he said. It is Californias' Proposition 13, with the word California changed to Utah and it does not meet: Utah statutes or the Utah Constitution.; I am for tax limitation; its only common sense that you cant spend mpre than you have and there should be some limit on how much tax a government can take in, he said. But, it limits it to 1 percent of fair market value and Utah code doesnt list fair and it rolls back market value; assessments to 1977 which would not be beneficial to Weber County because it was reassessed before that. constitutional, and if it was passed the state would lose $50 million in revenue - that goes to local governments primarily. Im not unbiased because I am an educator, but Initiative A would really hurt school programs, he said. Right now its difficult to fund services, and if the initiative passes we could lose our kindergarten program, counselors and aides and may have to go with a halfday first grade. Were on a downhill slide already, losing some athletics and fine arts programs designated as frills that are really not frills. We would lose our local control and would have to turn to state government for more funds, he said. We just cant afford to pass it now, this initiative is totally irrational, Ulibarri said. I wouldnt object to one tailored to Utah, though. People are realizing now that the proponents of this initiative lied to them and it wouldnt do what they were told it he said. Ulibarri also said he has gone on record supporting the removal of sales tax on food, which is contained in Initiative A on the ballot. I have supported that initiative, he said. Now some are arguing that the state cant afford it. The people will decide that; if they want it, they should have it. If the economy takes an upswing, the state can make up the loss easily, he said. The trouble is, the public is starting to panic, and we need to look at this rationally. Ulibarri said he supports the constitutional amendments being proposed on the ballot, but is neutral on the one which would give legislators an increase in the pay they receive while serving. Nobody can survive on $40 per day; it costs money to serve in the legislature, even if the pay increase were passed, he said. Ulibarri said he has had experience in government, having served in the legislature in 1977-7would do, 'i: : JOHN E. ULIBARRI h, Weber County is currently assessed at .95 percent, so if the initiative passes, property taxes in Weber County would go up, Ulibarri said. It would also destroy the equalization of taxing in Utah. If property is built or sold, it would then be assessed at fair market value, so two like properties side by side would not be equally taxed if one was sold. I would guess the initiative is un- - 8.

We need to bring light, clean industry in to provide us with a tax base The Farmington library is not big enough to contain the services of a library headquarters, he maintained. I dont see any reason to have the main library public in county government. Id like to see half As commissioner, elected?

The Kaysville resident admitted the odds are Glen Saunders Republican County Commission candidate Glen E. Saunders of Clinton says one of his major goals if elected is to hold the line on expenditures. I dont want to raise taxes, he said. I wont promise I wont, because we still have to address the needs of the county. However, the commission needs to review the countys programs to look for ways to avoid duplication, Saunders said. Saunders, who defeated incumbent Commissioner Glen W. Flint in the Republican primary, indicated he would also like to see the county become more and less dependent on federal money. In order to work toward this goal, weve got to build our tax base by promoting new industry in the county. Another priority, according to Saunders, is to regulate growth. We need to take steps to promote orderly growth in the county, which would include basic master planning and cooperating with com- munities, and special improvement districts such as sewer, water conservancy districts, and utility companies to provide basic services that overlap communities. Other problems which could be addressed through special districts include storm drainage and roads, he said. At the present time, we have some communities dumping storm sewage on other comstorm munities. We need a decent county-wid- e leadership is the key, then Boyd Ivory is the answer.

Asked if he would favor should KUY Nolan E. Karras, Republican candidate for the Utah House from District 9, said the main issue in this years campaign is the financial crisis the state is facing. The state would lose $160 million if the sales tax on food is removed and Initiative B.to limit property taxes are both passed, Karras said. He said the current shortfall can be blamed on the downturn in the nations economy, but said the two initiatives would worsen the problem. All groups want a commitment on spending for their programs and taxpayers are saying dont raise taxes, he said. There is not a lot of hope for any new programs now, and services will be cut to the bones of the inititiatives pass. Karras said his background as a certified public accountant, with a master of business administration degree, will be of help in finding the fat, to cut in government spending. I think Im better able to sort through the numbers so we can cut the fat, not the meat in government programs, he said. NOLAN E.
