Lee Urges Government Quit Waste at Uintah Convention
Governor Bracken Lee urged Utah residents to cut government waste and halt new reclamation projects during a speech at the Uintah Basin Industrial Convention. He argued funds should instead support the Central Utah Project and reduce taxes, stressing a future heritage of freedom over mounting bills. He cited daily $13 million in what he called wasteful government payroll costs during the Korean War and warned that taxation could rise to a point where projects exist but money to enjoy them does not.
