Peterson pointed to a survey by the Utah Taxpayers Association that showed Utah heads the list of 10 states in the average household tax bite The high household tax rate is even more burdensome in Utah he said because Utah families are larger than the national average But Owens a former member of the Utah Board of Regents which governs higher education said all Utahns must be prepared to sacrifice now to arrest the educational skid “We’ve got to bear that burden if it is a burden" Owens said “We need to look at it as an investment not an expense" ceives a larger cut of the education dollar than other school districts because of its young population Utah money is appropriated per child he said Eight cents out of every education dollar in Utah goes to Davis schools he said “Davis just doesn’t have the resources to fund its own" Barlow told the mother of a handicapped child that the House approved Thursday an increase for special programs for handicapped programs He said the extra money will get institutionalized people into Owens with disagreed Peterson’s assessment of state tax rates influencing businesses looking for a place to set up shop “That’s at the bottom of their list of concerns" Owens contended adding that the quality of education and the strength of a state's work force are primary factors that business considers Sen Haven Barlow validated Owens’ tax message pointing out that a Thursday night town meeting in Farming-to- n showed' support for higher taxes “In all my years in the Legislature I have never seen such an overwhelming support for more money for schools" said Barlow a legislator for the last 35 years When the overflow crowd heard that Bangerter’s tax plan still would leave large classrooms and force cutbacks in many school programs the public clamored for even higher taxes “That really turned them off" Barlow said The Legislature has made no binding decisions on taxes but most members of the session are saying whatever tax plan is approved will be less than the governor’s proposal schools which saves money in the long run On another subject Rep Frankdefendlin Knowlton ed a bill when he told a resident Jim Dawson the bill concerns only government employees and that is optional Rep Walter Bain ton owner of a Farmington drug store said “the only way to have a society is to have “We’ll never have a police force enough to protect people from drugs coming into this country" he said big m Late missionaries Elder Allen Brooks son of Frederick and Jean Brooks of 618 Valeria Drive Layton will serve in the Brazil Porto Alegre Mission He will speak at the Lav ton 9th Ward Chapel 789 E Wasatch Drive at 9 am Sunday Elder Daniel J Bence son of Sharon A Francis of 371 S 10UQ East Kaysville will serve in the Indiana Indianapolis Mission He will speak at the Kasville 5th Ward Chapel 201 S 600 Last at 3:50 pm Sunday v Courses Sliort-n-Swe-et at the Area Vocational Center Saturday February 7 1987 from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm in the AVC Union Building Admission is free Learn how to find the career that is right for you --or perhaps you just ward to know how to well a trailer hitch or discover wlut it lakes to become a computer programmer and more friends or family to tltc AVCs Bring your sweetheart "Short n Sweet Courses" You may attend two 43 minute sessions in tlc areas dial interest you most Arrive promptly to register Elder Karl Petty son of Donald M and Lucile Petty of 794 Panorama Drive served in the Florida Tampa Mission He will speak at the Ogden 69ih Waid Chapel 720 Nancy Drive at 1050 am Sundjy Information on other missionaries may be lound in the Church News section of the paper ATTENTION LOVERS You arc cordially invited to attend some for die courses you wanl 1 GIFTS FOR YOUR VALENTINE 3024 Drinker Ave Ch'dit Curd Blvd) OUM I IK "LOVE LE’EST CONGRATULATIONS TO JOANNE BLIND and PAUL GRIFFITH Feb 7 1987 Lane 200 N Washington 11 Minioture cryaJ heart vases Heartbtone cookie molds Oil lights Mrs Cavanaughs candy Kled boxes of homemade pecan and peanut brittle Crystal vanity boxes Potpourri pots Musical cards and much more Class sizes are limited The OgdenAVehcrArca Vocational Center is the recipient of the US Secretary of educations Award for Outstanding Vocational Programs 559 East AVC mb Mill AHA VOCAt oAi Ctfc'lttE tt'rrom Gift Wtnipmg blurry Crttit V T - |
