Most lawmakers say they agree with Gov. Bangerter that state government needs to take the long view and plan ahead for better times.

Utah Budget Director Dale Hatch provided promising forecasts showing that Utah's scliool-ag- e population is due to slow its rapid growth rate within four or five years. But Bangerter himself, in an interview, said Hatch's statistical portrait of the next decade did not differ greatly from the look of the present "My personal view is we will be I don't think we will fairly status-quo- . have any booming upturns or major downturns." he said Bangerter said he expects demands on schools and a precipitous drop in federal dollars to "cause us over the next 10 years to have tight budgets in Utah."

House Bill 49 was sponsored by Rep. Ray S Schmutz, George, who argued there are bad teachers who should not be paid by taxpayers when they are suspended from their jobs while awaiting the outcome of their cases However, representatives of the Utah Utah's two teacher unions Education Association and American Federation of Teaehers objected to the bill along with several educators and citizens attending the meeting was Rep John Arrington, successful in getting fellow committee members to approve an amendment deleting the measure's "without pay" provision.

Hlrs, v 't x The : looks brighter." the governor said students first crowding public schools, then the higher education would continue to swallow system a huge share of the state's resources. Like other states. Utah doesn't yet know with certainty what the Gramm-Rudmadeficit-erasinplan will mean in lost revenue. However, House Speaker Robert Garff said setbacks of about $8 million this year and $51 million next year had been forecast. Most of the money would come out of education and highways. Bangerter said a more efficient state government, probably providing fewer services, is the only alternative to burdening residents with higher taxes. "I think taxpayers will be sufficiently unwilling to accept tax increases for everything that they'll accept some reductions in services." he - n g said Bangerter, a Republican who prides himself on fiscal care, acknowledges that his proposed use of e flood funds to balance the budget is an indication of how little financial planning room the government has. But compared to the outlook seen by Legislative Fiscal Analyst Leo Memmott. Bangerter's view looks almost rosy. "Our figures are even worse than theirs the administrations," Memmott said. "A week or two ago. the Tax Commission said the deficit could very easily be $40 million," instead of the projected $25 million According to figures Memmott has compiled for the Legislature, state revenues will increase about 5 8 percent per year less than the historical rate at which expenditures have grown "We cannot continue to spend in the future like we have the last five years." Memmott said. And despite the recent announcements about new plants and jobs, Memmott remains concerned about reversals in a number of Utah's mainstay industries "Iomega is great, but we probably need a whole lot of those, he said. "Most of the announcements have been in the other direction like Sperry, Geneva and National Semiconductor." All three of those companies have announced layoffs in recent months. Yet another constrasting view, however, comes from an expert outside of government. one-tim- - According to Thavne Robson, di of Utah's Bu reau of Economic and Business Research, Utah's future prosperity, w hile not assured, is a pretty safe bet "The outlook at best is somewhat uncertain, but the long-terprojections for the Rocky Mountain region are very strong," Robson said While Idaho. Montana and Wyoming may be hampered by the structure of their industries and dependence on agriculture, he said, Utah and its neighbors on the south, east and west are expected to grow "out until the year 2000. While some traditional Utah industries have lost ground. Robson con tends the impact from much of those layoffs already has been absorbed by an state economy that added 23.000 jobs last year He points to the state's "bionic valley" reputation built on the Umversi ty of Utah's artificial-orgaprogram and to a defense industry that has brought about $3 5 billion in defense work to the state. Furthermore, Robson maintains that Utah's children now something of a minus in the state's fiscal columns will become a powerful plus as they reach the workforce "In the long run. thats the greatest asset the state has. Highly educated young people will be flowing into the job force," Robson said. That will be a major draw for companies looking for new locations and an incentive for existing firms to stay put. Wages in Utah also are "significantly lower" than those found in most urban centers, Robson said. When it comes to talking about educations needs, Robson added, "there is some slight tendency to exaggerate the problem. . . . The governor's doing a good job. and education is a big problem, but it's always been a big problem. Each new administration US' overs the education problem. What Utah needs to stop doing, hi said, is giving tax breaks away to business in the name of economic development and face up to the need for a tax increase. rector of the University n Bangerter. who's sticking to a campaign promise not to raise taxes for at least his first two years, says he'll keep his options open on that score. "We have to admit up front that we cant predict exactly what will happen," he said. "Anybody who can with certainty is more thana politician he'd be a prophet."

HB123, sponsored by Rep. James R Moss, would require an "impact statement" from the state Board of Regents on the costs and ramifications of any proposed legisn lation that would increase requirements for a profeshigher-educatio- sional certificate. Endorsed by the regents, the measure arose in the wake of the Legislature's approval several years ago of a fifth year of study or a master's degree required for accountants before they could take the examinations for certified public accountants. As a result of that earlier legislation, regents were obliged to let Weber State College and Southern Utah State College offer masters degree programs in accounting lest their lack of such a program result in an exodus of students from the accounting programs offered at the two colleges More F million in Farm Zone Protested - LOGAN (AID The Cache County (Manning Board decision to allow further commercial expansion in an agricultural zone has been appealed by the Blacksmith Fork Soil Conservation Distric t board of directors.
