There are 11 other items on the agenda to be covered as well but the "hottest" topic for most legislators will be the tax and refund issues. Accordingto the latest reports and information released by the Utah Foundation, the governor said that the income tax surplus could exceed $84 million end with the addition of surplus sales taxes collect the total surplus could range anywhere form $110 million to $130 million or more. The governor has a three-point plan to distribute the end of year surplus which would involve retumingpart of the surplus to the taxpayer, part going to education and a portion placed in a "rainy day fluid, (see related story). As to how to deal with tiie tax laws that caused the surplus the governor is proposing some modifications in the tax laws, such as a 5 cut in state income tax rates and allowing the 13 deduction for federal taxes. Other pressing issues concern the consideration of possible solutions to the thrift ancjl loan failures, which have left over 15,000 investors out in the cold. The prevailing sentiment is that legally, Utah ia not obligated to repay in full or in part, any of the . funds investors lost. Morally howif legislation is to be implemented on the issue. ever, there is the feeling that Utah is partly responsible and should do The governor alsohas sent out a list of several other items for something, but many citizens object to the taxpayer having to pick possible inclusion in the special session pending review by the up the tab for the failures. There are several "houselegislators. There is speculation that one of the other items that keeping measures on the agenda to correct or validate previous may be up for action is tiie revised proposal for AIDS legislation that legislation that was flawed, such aa Senate Bill 77 Procurement the governor hod reservations Reference for Domestic Contracabout the first time around.
