There has been no consistent or written fiscal policy, which ultimately leads to many inflated problems. Richens reported that one of the moot important elements of the reorganisation involves the creation of an "internal control structure with lines ofauthority, accountability and responsibility in the traditional approach." He explained that department directors will oversee programs involving their departments and coordinators will correlate specific programs bringingasenae of teamwork, and accountability. Rkhens admita that tha "reorganisation itself has alao presented some unique problems.

"However, the problems are minor compared to what would have happened had we had not done this.

Greenwood Superintendent Utah Highway Patrol and Lt Colonel Gary E. Gunrud Assistant Superintendent Utah Highway Patrol Whitmer comments on representative Dear Editor: Congressman Bill Orton continues to be tom between his duty to the citizens of Utah and his loyaltyto liberals in Congress. And once again, he has done the bidding of his political leaders while ignoring the desires of his constituents. Last year, Orton cosponsored the "A to IT spending reduction bill. This bill would have given House mem- bers an unlimited opportunity to present specific spending cut vote. proposals far a public It included guarantees that any approved cuts would go directly to reduce the national debt Now, in a revealing change of heart; Orton has killed this measure by refusing to sign die discharge petition to bring the bill to a vote. Ortons office recently sent me a e letter listing Ms excuses for killing tins bill. His main argument is that too much time has passed for A to Z to affect this years budget But whoae fault is that? The bill has been languishing in committee for months, needing nothing more than for Orton and his buddies-tshow some integrity by signing the petition. Ilka an irresponsible schoolboy, Orton wants to be excused at the end of ths year for not getting Ms homework done on time. In Ms letter, Orton admita-ev- en roll-ca- ll two-pag- powerful House Demo-crats rewarded him for refusing to sign the petition. In exchange for Me collaboration, Orton says, "The House has had mare than three weeks to debate and vote on 74 amendments to cut specific spending items." This carefully worded boasts-th- at statement fails to tell us what any of these amendments were, how many of them passed, or whether even one of them will ever become law. Apparently, results matter to Bill Orton far less than public perception does. IfA to Z was a bad idea, why did Orton sponsor the bill in tha first place? The answer seems to be that he didn't expect ths discharge petition to bo mads public. In Ms MURDER late January that Tie might have killed somebody." He said he did it at a house or something.
