al- though there really may not be any” Rep Evans said “If you put the interests on the table out in the open you maintain public confidence” “I think the disclosure act affords some privacy and yet satisfies the public’s right to know” he added Any possible conflicts are now handled by legislative rules In the House members are asked at the outset of a session to file a statement declaring professional conflicts that Again as they have since 1981 Salt Lake City District employees of the Internal Revenue Service are participating in KSL radio’s “quarters for Christmas” project Money raised is used to buy shoes for children A bake sale and auction was conducted by by employees Tuesday that generated slightly more then $2500 Last year’s auction raised $1040 odd an exemption to the state's Bill Financial-Disclosu- re His draft would require the elected state executives and legislators to file each January a statement for Lawmakers ‘Pre-Fil7 Bills For Legislature’s ’88 Session ers managing to ill plight arise which usually takes the form of a general indication of occupation or civic groups A Senate rule asks members to voluntarily declare in general terms any conflict when voting on individual legislation A joint rule covering both houses says lawmakers when in session shall disclose personal or financial interest in any legislation and declare any interest in legislation affecting a business entity in which the legislator is an officer director employee or in which a substantial interest in held There are no fines for violation although a legislative ethics committee could reprimand a violator if it deemed a matter significant ' Rep Evans a professional social worker and a correctional administrator at the State Prison has had his own supposed interest conflicts bared before the public as the subject of litigation from the attorney general challenging his right to serve both as public employee and a state legislator “Because of that I’m a good person to run the bill” said Rep Evans “I don’t think disclosure hurts you” jSn YOUR CHOICE WTH STORM WIUBOVS aabc me 13 1987 Two Organize Group To Help Those Leaving LDS Faith Two members of the First Unitari-- ' an Church Diane Davis and Ron Anderson are organizing a support group for people leaving the LDS faith The group recognizes that people a Mormon background often have difficulties meeting the challenges of separating from their past Mr Anderson emphasizes “We don’t want to be labeled as an group We have merely recognized the need for giving support to those in religious transition — those who no longer fit into the traditional LDS role and therefore find themselves with pressures and problems” in transition from anti-Morm- The first meeting Tuesday at 7:30 will deal with “Religious Tensions of the Holiday Season” A presentation will be followed by group discussion Other topics will include: “Dealing With a Disappointed Fam- pm ily” ‘‘Children’s Needs During Transition” “Excommunication” “Problems With Doctrine” “Guilt Feelings for Not Measuring Up” and "Special Pressures for Women” 2923399 wee MIDVALE atm M-- Vy 562-220- 0 6885 South State Street Hours: F 10 AM to 8 PM M-- SMjm&IiM— WINTER SPECIAL ANY 8 WINDOWS INSTALLED mow w i CUSTOM MADE ONLY TO FIT YOUR NEEDS AARC INC or TOLL 486-16- 14 (offr FREE limited to vertical hung or slider) (ingle-ve- nt Fred Bartholomew with 32 years of service experience is the service manager for MiddlekauJJ Lincoln Mercury JEWELERS Lincoln-Mercur- “famous for diamonds " i V"‘ ' —V ' I- : I i W 0 -- (5 M iS-em- Li -
