Rep. Henry Dickamore, Weber, along with challengers James Hurst, Democrat, and Theresa Myers, Libertarian, will vie for the District 15 seat in the Nov. 4 election. In separate interviews, both Hurst and Dickamore said they felt the stale's economy is responsible for the problems in education and taxation. Myers declined comment. Her brother, Hugh Myers of the same party, said she is taking the Libertarian Party stand on all issues. According to Myers, the Libertarian Party platform opposes any type of taxation, promotes tuition tax credits for education alternatives. The party also supports the purchase of water rights for mountain runoff by private citizens. which in turn is a viable solution to reducing the level of the Great Salt Lake. But one challenger share his political who did views was Hurst. Voicing his major concerns about taxation, he said, "We live off of taxation in this state, citing as examples Hill Air Force Base and the Defense Depot of announced write-i- n Friday campaign for the their com- mission seats. The pair decided to seek the commission seats after reading a news article in an Ogden paper about concerns on who would "step forward if all the commissioners were killed or incapacitated during an emergency situation. "I would venture to say approximately 45 percent to 65 percent of the income in this state comes from the federal government, Hurst said. "We need to ask ourselves are we (the public) willing to put our money where our mouth is. We may have to tax, and if we do, we should bite the bullet and do it. Hurst said to help rectify increased taxation he feels the people of the state should start receiving wages comparable to wages offered in other states for similar occupations. We need to make sure were for what we're getgetting paid ting paid for, he said. "If we're not going to raise personal income, there is no way we can make taxation work. Dickamore addressed the same concerns. The number one issue is the economy. "People dont realize education is in trouble because the economy is in trouble, Dickamore said. said. We can educate our kids but if they can't get jobs, what have we accomplished? Dickamore said he has suggested the state Office of Education take a hard look at providing h more instruction to students to help solve the job market problem. Both candidates also addressed their concerns regarding youths who violate federal statutes, specifically drug abuse and juvenile crime. One of the biggest issues facing the state is the drug scene in schools, Hurst said.
