The fate of Ballot Measure 3,
the 1 5 percent limit on property
taxes, was uncertain The
measure limits property taxes to
1 5 percent of market value and
rolls back assessed values to
1979 levels.
Opponents say the measure
would force school districts and
local governments to fire
teachers and police officers.
They also say the loss of
revenue would stop new con
struction and block recovery.
Proponents say the amendment
is the only way to limit
government spending

Sierra Club
protests Reagan
energy nominee
WASHINGTON (AP) -
Declaring that the country does
not need another James Watt,
the Sierra Club on Monday said
Pres Ronald Reagan would be
making a mistake to nominate
Donald Hodel tor the post of
energy secretary
In a letter to Reagan. Sierra
Club president Denny Shaffer
said Hodel would be a poor
choice because of his record
from 1972 to 1977 as head of the
Bonneville Power Administra
tion Since 1981, Hodel has
been Interior Secretary James
Watt's No 1 deputy at the inte
rior department
As administrator, the Sierra
Club said. Hodel demonstrated
a ‘ lack of foresight and
judgment, hostility to energy
conservation and the interests
of the rate-paying consumers,
Insensitivity to environmental
concerns and resistance to cit
izens participation in gov
ernment decisions ''
Administration sources say
Hodel is the front-runner to
become energy secretary when
James Edwards leaves the
Cabinet later this month to
become president of the
Medical University of South
Carolina However, last week.
Reagan denied a published
report that Hodei had been
offered the job The president
said no decision had been made
yet ■
