March 18. 1987 dUiniah I Editorial Basin Sitiamdlairdl Unity must be prevalent on regional prison jssue A short time ago, we advocated that a regional prison should be built in this Correction officials have said that for ' each community to actively seek different sites may be healthy. They certainly don't care if anomisity exists between Duchesne and Roosevelt, just as long as they don't have to step in and try to resolve it. But, whereas Duchesne and Roosevelt are both wanting the facility, the county commissioners must make sure there is peace and harmony in the county. It is refreshing to note that correction of-ficials are sending their correspondence to the county commission. Although the commissioners may not actively pursue different sites, and whereas they should not, it is a comfort knowing they will be . the county's unified voice. We must all remember, that wherever the facility is built in this county, everyone will benefit. Residents will benefit through lower taxes, employment and countless other areas that run the gamut of benefiting factors. If the commissioners can keep the unity, which at times will be difficult, and both cities will publicly and privately support the other, chances of us acquiring the 500 to maximum 1500 bed facility is good. However, unity must be area. Once again, we are doing the same. Because of a sluggish economy that is pushing unemployment above 20 percent, the hope of acquiring a regional prison in Duchesne County is a welcome surprise. Although there are some drawbacks to having a prison located in the county, the advantages, at least at this time, certainly weigh heavy. With at least 250 jobs at the prison and 250 peripheal, the county employment would certainly get a boost in the arm. Presently Roosevelt and Duchesne Cities are looking at different city locations that a prison could occupy. Each entity is privately hoping they are the fortunate benefactors of the prison. Publicly they are both willing to support each other in their quest for the prison. Correction officials have said the important component that .must be exemplified in going after the regional prison is unity. The entire county must be unified in wanting the prison. If the state hears antagonistic rhetoric, this county will be the last place a prison will be built. And, with that decision, a lot more than bruised egos will be hurt.

The Federal Supreme Court refused to hear the ease. According to an article in the Salt Lake Tribune February 13, 1987, Utah is adjusting tax rules for the Ute Reservation: The Utah State Tax Commission is still fine tuning a policy that will spell out how enrolled members of the Ute Indian Tribe can claim exemptions from the State sales tax in towns within the newly redefined Indian reservation. A recent 10th Circuit Court of Appeals Ruling expanded the jurisdiction of the reservation. This had the effect of exempting the enrolled tribal members from state sales tax in the towns of Duchesne, Fruitland, Current Creek, Tabkma, Hanna, Utahn, Altamont, Mt. Emmons, Altonah, Upalco, Mt.
