The committee, comprised of local government officials. Price River water companies and electric utility PacifiCorp, is joined by the Utah Rivers Conservation Council and the Utah Wilderness Association as plaintiffs in the action.

"We haven't seen the lawsuit and generally our policy is we are constrained to comment until it is aired in court." said Bureau of Reclamation spokesman Barry Wirth. Defendants in the suit include the bureau's regional director Charles Calhoun, bureau Commissioner Dan Beard and Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt. The bureau would secure federal funding for the $17.3 million project, which includes a 17,000 acre-foot reservoir on Gooseberry Creek and a transmountain pipeline through the Wasatch Plateau.

Utah The cost of living along the Wasatch Front went up significantly over the past year, according to a Weber State University report.

"I think most serious candidates for a major office like that need to be organized by spring of the election year, if not before," said Mike Zuhl. State Democratic Party chairman. "Despite what some people think might be vulnerability on Deedee Corradini's part, there are not serious contenders at this stage of the race." "It's very late," said Republican Brent Overson, Salt Lake County Commission chairman. "In my estimation, it's too late. It takes a lot of money, effort and organization to be geared up to dasorrething of this magnitude." Even enough of his own money to jump-start a credible campaign, says timing is a problem.

'There is no question that at this stage, if somebody gets into the race it is going to be difficult." Foxley said. "It would have been better if I had run to announce late last year." Success at this late date is a problem, but not impossible. Foxley said. People either like Corradini or dislike her. he said.
