LETTER: Vote ‘Yes’ on Initiative 1

Editor,

As a student, I would like to encourage members of our student body to support Utah Citizen’s Initiative 1. Not only will this initiative prohibit higher levels of nuclear waste from entering our state, it will tax the current radioactive waste Utah receives at rate comparable to other states. If Utah is going to accept nuclear waste, we should be fairly compensated for it. The increased taxes will be used to fund educational programs and provide scholarships for students. With the increasing budget cutbacks being dealt to universities, we cannot afford to let this opportunity pass. Vote YES for Initiative 1.
