Initiative #1



Bob and I have spent a fair amount of time working on a volunteer basis with The Nature Conservancy and for Initiative #1. We have been strong supporters of The Nature Conservancy for many years--over 25 years in fact--and have enjoyed some of their preserve areas for birding, beginning in southern Arizona in the 70's. The Nature Conservancy is one of the primary sponsors of Initiative 1. We believe strongly in their environmental ethics and programs. There are definite accountability provisions worked into the Initiative. They have also pledged to work on a willing seller/willing buyer or a win/win basis.

Voters often are afraid of any tax raises, however this one is extremely small--one cent out of $20.00 for the benefits that can be gained. Nevada recently passed a $200 million dollar initiative. Initiative 1 is only for $150 million.

Bob and I strongly support Initiative 1 and anything that is done to save the great places of Utah for birding as well as other nature enjoyments.

Georgene and Bob Bond
