The 64th Utah Legislature begins next week.
Host Bryan Schott is joined on the podcast by Senate President Stuart Adams, R-Layton, and Senate Minority Leader Karen Mayne, D-West Valley City.
We discuss the top priorities for lawmakers this year as they anticipate having nearly $1 billion in extra revenue to spend. What will they do with that cash? Education should see a significant funding boost, as will some long-neglected one-time projects. But lawmakers are also eyeing a tax cut, something they’ve been wanting to do since 2019.
