Prosecu- tort allege he was later taker! in by Manning and Valentino Colorow in the trunk of a car tothe Fort Duchesne landfill where he was beaten again. Court testimony indicated the victim may have been alive at the time he was left for dead at the landfill which is located east of Roosevelt. Poleviyaomas body wasnt discovered until May 20. Delphine Colorow pleaded guilty in September to a charge of third degree felony aggravated assault in the case. He is currently serving a term of 0 to 5 years in the Utah State Prison, with a mandatory term of 3 years.

One of the arguments area officials want to see stated clearly to lawmakers is that what happens in the Uintah Basin in terms of oil and gas production, directly impacts the state as well. "We need to stress not only to legislators, but to the administration, just what is happening locally, Payne declared. Every time we shut in a well out here, you're going to loose the centrally assessed property tax when that equipment moves out of here. According to Payne, the state has seen their severance tax revenue plunge from a high of $42 million in 1985 to $12 million in 1994. "As we go into the legislature and contact freehmen legislators we need to put this information to them clearty and make sure they come on when this hits the floor and makes it to a vote," Payne told Duchesne County commissioners recently. Commissioners realize the importance of a successful lobbying effort. "When it comes right down to it what were going to do is ask the state to invest with us in an infrastructure, said commission chairman Lurry Ross.

He gave no specifics, however, about the intended assistance. The $3 monthly fee will be assessed to service district members once a year with their taxes. But the kinks are not yet worked out for collection from city residents, since no uniform means of collection has been determined. Furthermore, some city residents have protested the fee, since they are not part of the service district. Adams said the $3 fee is intended to replace the tippage fee that will no longer be charged at the landfill. But Adams reminds residents that its illegal to dispose of garbage on private land, or public land other " than the county landfilL Solid waste disposal is based on strict federal he explains, but the state ' regulations, sets its own guidelines.

Should plaintiffs deide to pursue the civil rights issue, the case would now have to be refiled in tribal court Initial efforts to have the case heard in tribal court were unsuc cessful, prompting the plaintiffs to seek a federe court ruling.
