Don E. Bush and Democratic challenger Vernon R. Borgeson have done this ' before. Twice even - each time netting a different result. For the third time Bush and Borgeson, candidates with plenty of differences, will vie for the 'House District 14 seat in the Nov. 5 general election. The winner of this rubber match will represent Clearfield and a small portion of Layton in 'the Legislature the next two years. I feel confident. But not to the point to where I am just going to coast," said Bush, who defeated Borgeson in 1992 to gain his second term in office. Since then Bush has gone on to capture a second consecutive term in 1994, his third term altogether. The Bush's only political defeat came in 1990 at the hands of Borgeson, now 76. Borgeson was one of three Davis Democrats to win in 1990. J. Dell Holbrook won in a County ' Commission contest and Gale Voigt beat Scott Holt for what was then the District 14 seat before redistricting in 1992. Bush Bush said the Democratic victories were a result of the 1990 swept the Hill Air Force Base area under the threat of base layoffs and possible closure. I really never analyzed it that closely. There was something there," said Borgeson, who since his 1992 defeat has served on the Davis Council on Aging board. Borgeson said in 1990 he also may have caught Bush something he won't be able to do this time. e, right-to-wo- Borgeson said he doesnt believe in abortion, but he does not believe government should legislate their will on women. On issues closer to home, Borgeson favors more preventive measures for juvenile criminal offenders, while Bush believes stif-fpunishment is needed. "I certainly favor some stronger penalties, Bush said. His lone successful bill during last year's legislative session was to stiffen the penalty of driving under the influence on a third conviction to a felony charge. Bush said he did attempt other bills, eight to be exact, but pulled away from most because of duplication of similar bills being sponsored. Borgeson said the state needs more preventive education programs for juveniles, because he isnt sure prisons can be built fast enough.

Borgeson and Bush are hoping their contest will be decided by politics, not popularity. "I think the main difference is Im a moderate, and (Bush) is Borgeson said. Bush paints Borgeson as more of a liberal, claiming his stands are closely tied to the Democratic national platform. I think the connotation of a Democrat in Utah is a liberal, "If (Bush) wants veniles) up and it only makes them more hardened criminals," he said. Both also see transportation as a major issue. Bush, chairman of the House Transportation Committee, said he is in a position where he can help Clearfield City get funding for the proposed $6 million overpass city officials want to build at 200 South. "I will certainly be in a position to help on it," he said. But Bush makes no promises due to other needed road improvements facing the state. . Borgeson said he would work equally hard to get Clearfields overpass complete. Borgeson said west Clearfield is expanding and the overpass is needed to serve those residents with emergency services. He said the overpass would also alleviate city traffic and remove one of the state's most hazardous crossings. Bush and Borgeson each have lived in Davis County for more than 35 years.

To complete the project estimated to cost $945,000, at least 20 percent, or $170,000, would come from the Utah Department of Transportation, and $42,500 from available city funds. I realize this (proposal) is very expensive, Petty said, and that it pertains to only one area. But I anticipate we will eventually do this from one end of the city to the other."
