Show Utah foundation reports higher taxes for present, future taxpayers buke When her boyfriend reported he was goinK to junrpuff a cliff 300 feet if the didn't marry him her high facetious reply wan: "Stiundsliliea big bluff to me " Actiona taken by the 1975 Utah Legislature will result in higher taxes for present taxpayers and higher obligations that eventually must be borne by taxpayers in the future. This was the conclusion reached by Utah Foundation, the private research organization, in their analysis of the 1975 legislative session. According to the Foundation study, the 1975 Utah Legislature raised state individual income tax rates, increased the local option sales tax, and provided for other changes in fish and game licenses, etc. More particularly, however, the Legislature adopted programs which will have to be funded from higher future revenues. As an example, the study notes that legislation enacted this year will provide greatly expanded retirement benefits for state and public school employees. Funding for this expanded program, however, will be phased in over a four-yea- r period. By the end of the 1970 decade, therefore, retirement for public and school employees will cost the State more than $100 million a year. This includes the cost of the state retirement program plus the state's share of Federal Social Security (FICA) costs. Another example of delayed financing cited by the Foundation was enactment of a new $70 million bonding program to finance expansion of the University of Utah Medical Center and other state projects. It is expected that retirement of this new bond issue will not begin until after the last of the 1965 bonds are Gtygllin) retired in 3i(n)lnn) April ft y 1980. state spending for regular programs authorized by the 1975 Utah Legislature for the 1975-7- 6 fiscal year is estimated at $765 million. This is approximately $8 million more than the amount recommended by the Governor in his budget, and is about $80 million or 12 greater than the spending fiscal level authorized for the 1974-7year. Foundation analysts also hasten to point out that these expenditure totals are for regular programs only, and do not include about $85 million in state appropriations for buildings and e items. other of the increased Approximately 63 spending for next year will go for for higher education and education 21 42 for increased support of the public schools. Increased appropriations for social service programs account for about 17 of the higher spending amounts projected for next year, and increases in other areas of state operations are responsible for the remaining 20 of the $80 million increase in the 1975-7operating budget. Based on the revenue estimates used by the Legislature and the appropriations authorized, the general fund and the uniform school fund would end the 1975-7- 6 fiscal year with a combined Total 5 ESCAPE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN on-goi- one-tim- ; GODFATHER II 6 Children $1 .00 Adults $2.00 Msvias begin 7:30 p.n. of $3.1 million. Foundation analyst) indicate, however, that the revenue estimates used may be conservative and the final surplus could exceed this $3.1 million estimate. In addition; other factors that could raise this final surplus figure are (1) a report that interest earnings in 1974-7may be $3 million greater than the estimate fomished the Legislature, (2) additional lapses (refunds) of $2 million or more may be realized from 1974-7- 5 appropriations, (3) part of a $6.5 million appropriation few a fine arts center in Salt Lake may be returned if local matching money is not found, and (4) added lapses from 1975-7- 6 school appropriations may be available if the local funds exceed the estimates used in making the calculations for state support funds. surplus 5 College's plan job program Educators from several of Utah's college's have combined efforts in an attempt to develop a program to coordinate the job demands of industry with the vocational educational resources in the state. group of vocational education coordinators from schools south of the Wasatch Front met recently to begin the organization procedures. At the meeting were representatives from Snow College, College of Eastern Utah, Southern Utah State College, Dixie, Uinta Vocational Center, and Sevier Valley Tech. Under the proposal for the group, a support staff from the state board of education and the board of Regents will provide assistance to the coordinators so all objectives of the group may be met. Objectives outlined in the original proposal include: 1. Evaluate and make available to all planners all on going programs, numbers and types of facilities available and funds from all sources available to the area. 2. Collect and identify the needs of industry. 3. Develop a master plan for greater utilization of facilities and funding available. 4. Monitor programs at member schools. 5. Uitlize an equipment pool in order to move equipment to areas where needed. 6. Involve all unions in the planning phase.
