For what has seemed like, endless weeks, lakeside area residents have fought roads and snowbanks that clutch slipping wheels and wont let go. It has become almost the norm to see several stuck or stranded motorists nearly every day.

Perhaps the floods of last erwise dreary winter.

It isnt unusual to see two or three cars stopped and people out push-- , ing to help get a car rolling again. One woman who stopped them. Calling the Bluff on dents would approve of tax increases for education. Should people really take this poll seriously? One may well ask if the poll was conducted impartially. The pollster, Dr. Ray Briscoe, is himself a public school teacher of many years, and currently a member of the Davis County School Board. Isnt there a conflict of interest here? - The Education Reform Steering Committee recom- mends $150 million in tax increases. It is noteworthy that every single member of the committee is either a politician, a bureaucrat, or from a big business receiving millions of dollars of government money. Considering the vested interests of the committee members, it is not surprising that they recommend higher taxes and bigger government. So what will happen? With a stacked Committee, intense lobbying by the teachers union, and a few polls of dubious accuracy, the Legislature will pass a whopping tax increase, probably around $75 million. And the Republicans who completely control the Legislature will brag to themselves and to the voters how conservative they have been with our money, and how that Governor would have taxed us to the al poor-hous- e. They will not admit that it wouldnt matter in the least what the Governor proposed, as they can do anything they please with the budget, and the Governor is in no position to stop dont mittees, we might need to extend this policy for many months. It might even become a habit one that probably deserves good-neighb- they let families have freedom of choice in education through tax credits? And if they really want to know what voters think of tax increases, why dont they ask us by putting it on the ballot in a general election? when the weather turns mild and streams are back to normal. Willy Marshall Libertarian Party . Think of Review Editor: Livestock . Review Editor: As we enjoy our warm homes and good food, please think of the horses, and all the livestock outside in the cold, most without overhead warmth and protection. Many arent fed for several days at a time. As my friend and I drove in the countryside, the animal suffering was apparent. The animals were digging at the hard, white snow, with no hay or water around. Undoubtedly, many owners find it inconvenient to feed and water their animals. Its also inconvenient for the animals to stand and freeze and starve. In the winter, outdoor animals require 'double food and water. They should be fed, both morning and at night, and at the same time, as well. They should have some type I am an elementary school teacher. Thirty students in my class have been without books, paper, pencils, visual and motivational materials the past two years. Last yeaf, I spent $1,625.00 of my own money to buy the materials necessary to adequately teach these children. Please realize that until there are fewer students per classroom (some have 36 students per class), and at least enough money for essential materials, your children are being cheated out of the education you hope for. Until the legislature realizes that our childrens schooling is even more important than fund- -' ing food for deer, the quality of education in Utah will continue to decline.
