During a public bearing held last April to gage public sentiment on the possibility of having a prison located in Duchesne or Roosevelt, no opposition was voiced against the proposal.

Our reception in the area haa been cxceptionaL Roosevelt has been down that road before; they feel comfortable about it. About eight year ago Roosevelt was an "aggreeeive and positive bidder for a stats correctional facility that ended up being built in Gunnison. During the citys bid for the prison, public support was evident Long said Roosevelt City officials have not offered incentive or been asked to provide any monetary backing by Cornell.

"The city has done much more for us than offer us money, they Ve offered their cooperation. City Administrator Brad Hancock ays the city is capable of handling increased infrastructure demands that would result from having such a large facility and the accompanying growth new ioba would create. Our sewer treatment facility is operatingat about half capacity so we can handle that with east. Our new water source will double our ability to provide for those needs and we have electricity and gas lines very dose to the (primary site, Hancock detailed. 1 think the advantages far outweigh the negative; it'eadean industry that will provide good, stable employment.

Snow said he looks forward to hearing from his constituents during the legislative session as issues are debated. As a veteran la wmaker, Evans is in the midst of the political fray on several fronts. She is sponsoringtwo Olympic-related bills, and notes that many measures dealing with the Olympics will be introduced this session. Many of the bills call for more oversight of the Salt Lake Organ izing Committee and additional eudits. Many of those bills were in the works even before the committee was plagued by the bribery scandal now under investigation As usual, balancing the budget will be difficult, particularly in the face of increased demands brought on by growth in recent years, coupled with unfunded federal mandates. Finding enough money for State Corrections -- the fastest growing budget and education will be especially challenging, said Evans. in education tbs stats is examining problems with concurrent enrollment in college courses by high school students. Bills that will have importance locally include the proposed ofthe cougar and bear depredation bill which seeks an additional $200,000 appropriation to continue paying farmers and ranchers for the loasonivestockby predators. Evans is working toward a bill that would clear the way for a $60,000 binding allocation for the planned Children's Justice Center in Vernal.She is tlso working toward a measure to fond the proposed expansion ofthe Utah Field House of Natural History. Although there are no bills that would address incentives for oil and gas companies in the facecf the downturn in the industry, Evans said that Is an issue of concern that the state will need to be sensitive to.
