Show Casually Observing with Cliff Governor's Veto of Strings Stir and Special Session OATS i i GLAD r TO BE HOME-Until I read the brief bulletin the Deseret News Monday and then a more complete fory Tuesday morning in the I sort of felt the Legislative Session was and who served 62 on Capitol could honestly good to be Dished and back Looks as if His George D. will be forced to call a special Lo patch UP a Building which he e. pes In SERVED WARNING Several times the Chief Executive emphasized he was opposed to anything that sounded like And although was not a bonding it did oen the door for borrowing money to get a building job so vitally needed for our state IT'S UNFORTUNATE WHEN such an important piece legislation has to be passed at the eleventh hour of the sixtieth just before It gives lne governor all the the of a strong tool in his hand I'm in view of the 10 1 Senate Vole and the 50 to 13 House vote both in vor of Governor Clyde's veto would have been had the Legislature had that chance before III IT'S AN ATTEMPT will be made to a veto when we are called back into Not sure we'd have that by to do this in session As I the reactions from party and leaders I detected the situation could easily another hassle It is almost amusing at the s action of one university who was quite unhappy he felt his school was short-changed on funds suggested and tried unsuccessfully to get more money for and sundry projects at his he upholds the Governor in his veto But We are haPPy when we et what we want and st dejected and ready Lo fight when the worm turns QUITE I FEEL the action of Governor on Particular piece of legislation is not justified indicated to the press Monday Contrary to his was studied Intensely by Mime very capable and astute legislators f and Industrial and was given v an overwhelming vote of The vote was NOT HASTY we had a chance to study the basic phases ft the bill for several and when we it was hot an emotional and hasty m ALSO FEEL WHEN 85 of the Legislative the same way they have a better chance of being than the decision of one even though he be the and I respect Governor Clyde and voted to uphold CASUALLY Page 8 Casually Continued from J his ideas and recommendations various times during the recent regular legislative This I did because I felt he was right and was doing his utmost to be an honest and forthright executive to this end he has been successful and is a dedicated IT'S HARD TO and I won't try to even what the legislature will do when called and this call we will receive in the not too distant future There has to be a and it must be ready prior to July 1st to give the a chance to get on with their building program i CONCEDE THE POINT that Uie should not have the power to tie the hands of two succeeding legislatures relating to looking at state building needs and and if changes should be they should have that If does then It needs to be If It gives total control to the State Building then that should be changed to give legislative and administrative power it should ONE OTHER POINT SHOULD BE The Legislature passed which increases the Sales Tax one-half and earmarked the funds for constructing the buildings was needed to do the job of spending the Doesn't it seem a bit inconsistent that the Chief Executive would sign the revenue bill and veto the implementing legislation that must be passed to spend the I'm beyond any is a personal objection to the approach of a nasty word in the governor's vocabulary during the Other Wrong Impression Given I HAVE BEEN READING QUITE A LOT in the dailies and in some that gives the Impression the Legislature had full chance to study and debate the major education bills introduced during the Let's put it this way each individual member of the Senate and House was lobbied on the Governor's Education and the CAPS HB Also both bills were considered by the two education committees BUT ONLY ONE ever came to the floor of the House of es for It was sent back to the Senate who rejected the House and a new bill was later amended and re-amended and also in the eleventh It was signed by the Governor and becomes THAT THE was thoroughly aired and debated by the House is gross misstatement of Several moves to get it out of committee were but the majority group kept it bottled up in committee for nearly six We did meet one afternoon for about 90 minutes in a committee of a whole to hear the CAPS Bill explained with some questions But that was and the party in power stymied further life to the This is a statement that can not be refuted by anyone who knows the WHILE ON THE SUBJECT of let me indicate that I hope things can be worked out to the extent that schools will open next September with a full corps of qualified I can feel the teachers' disappointment at this but by arbitration and working together with all I have faith a solution can be I have always been a friend of the educator and the educational process and will continue to do my utmost to see our children get the BEST EDUCATION that can be provided nothing NEXT WEEK I SHALL TRY to summarize the various laws that were passed and how they will affect us here in this part of the state This will be done in a separate and Casually Observing will return to its normal I hope 30 |
