The 1982 civil service test was passed by 119 of the 243 whites who took it and by eight of the 32 minority members who took it.

After the scoring adjustments were made, 16 minority members were awarded passing scores.

He noted that a main aim will be to remember who pays the bills and hold the line on taxes.

The challenges facing Utah over the next several years are tremendous, but so are the opportunities. Like those who labored so long ago to construct the Hurricane canal with crowbars and hand drills, working together we can meet every challenge and make a success of our opportunities, Gov.
