Show g WEST VALLEY 16, 1981 Thursday, July VIEW . 88 fes TO THE va CvX s - let's cut out the when you talk to the taxpayers of Salt Lake County . . . The Governor, the Speaker of the House, the Chairman of the County Commission and the Mayor of Salt Lake City have issued a statement which evidently is supposed to allay all our concerns about the forthcoming Zoo Special Election. They say it's "equitable." Even though the taxing district is that almost 168,000 county residents are not involved. They say it'll levy a "small tax on most residents of the county." Small? Hey, fellas, it'a another mill Aw, c'mon guys I Washington, D. C. on May 13, 1981. The route took them through 13 states, and I am told by Jerry Evans, their local spokesman, the hikers were unanimous in stating that Utah was the best state they traveled through. They, of course, marveled at our forests, mountains, deserets and canyons. They also had kind words about our wonderful, friendly people from Enter- prise to Monticello. I am hoping that you will convey to your readers the enormous sense of pride I feel as governor of the state of Utah each time I receive a letter like this. I know that Utahs greatest natural resource is its people, and its rewarding to know that others think so too. I am hopeful I will be able to get out of the statehouse this summer to enjoy a little Utah hospitality myself! Best Wishes Gov.

Not in our book - not when 27 percent of the county isn't involved. And - get this - here's the gasper! All the while keeping a straight face, they admit the vote is totally unfair by offering a 40 percent discount to those who pay that tax and then visit the Zoo. Now really, guys - that's absurd! That license or coupon book or ID tag or whatever it is you issue those who pay the tax so they can get their discount at the Zoo will be bartered, borrowed, loaned or sold, as the case may be. It'll become the joke of the year unless you tattoo it on the taxpayer's cheek. We're not questioning the motives of these men - they're honest people - but we can't help noting this: Gov. Matheson, a resident of Salt Lake City, is going to pay to support the Zoo no matter what the outcome of the vote. Ditto for Mayor Ted Wilson. Their city put nearly a dollars in the Zoo's coffers last year and is morally committed to continue to support the Zoo. If the vote carries, the tax bills of Gov. Matheson and Mayor Wilson will be lowered. Either that or Salt Lake City will have that much money to use for some other purpose. Now to friend Norm Bangerter, the Speaker of the House: Because the Commission in West Valley City decided not to permit its citizens to be included in this vote, Mr. Bangerter won't be taxed no matter how the :88 gg g:g gg g;g gg: 88: half-a-millio- n 8g 8lg 8 jgg :g m igy :g gg igg 8g gg 88; :g8 8g Two From Wallace Budd and Frank McGowan, both of Cottonwood, were named to receive the Area Get Art Honors art scholarships 1981 given by the pageant.

Not even if eventually a third - or perhaps even a half - of the county's population resides in those cities. Now really, Governor - Speaker Commissioner - Mayor - is that "fair and equitable?" Voters will have a chance to call it what they think on Wednesday, July 29th. And they'd best do it because this is an open-enproposition. Even not it much money take though may every month - after all, what's a mill more among friends? - it'll get to be a surprising sum as the years pass by and each individual is pay- ing his own Zoo assessment as well as a portion of that someone else isn't paying! -- -- -- d -- about this production.

And "most" -- The 28th of July will bring the vote on whether West Valley City will be governed by the existing commission system or be changed to a council- manager type of government. It would behoove each of us to get acquainted with the issue and vote on that day. Hopefully the choice of the people will be to form, as I believe change to the council-managthe existing commission form is inadequate for our city. If the new system is adopted we will vote this fall for our council people. There will be four in- dividuals elected from their respective areas in the city to represent that area on the council, There will also be two additional council members elected at large by the entire city population plus a mayor. with meetings All positions will be part-timonce or twice a w'eek only, making it possible for most anybody to hold the job, which is the best part of this form of government. It widens the field of those who can participate in their in their and puts the decision-makinhands. With this council-managform, the council makes the major decisions and directs a professional manager to carry on the day to day management of the affairs of the city. Council members will not be involved in the various departments as our commissioners now are, but will look to the city organization as a whole. The existing commission form tends to perpetuate the inherent actions of commis- sioners paying special attention to their own departments and allowing them to grow without regard to the taypayers ability to pay. Another advantage of the council-managform is that it removes politics from the manag-ing part of our government, putting it only with the council, yyetting the manager handle the y business in a professional manner as directed by thp,council. So lets be working toward that election date of July 28, and then lets be encouraging good people to run for office in the fall election. You may be the one to do it in your district. g on -- :8$ 8:8 e, -- mumbo-jumb- o Favorable Vote Urged er Accurately Called Equitable? Zoo Tax Be DEAR MR.
