ACTION ALERT - 2010 Legislative Session

March 15, 2010

Hallelujah! It was a roller coaster of a final night, but we made it. To summarize: overall, the session turned out much better than any of us had a right to expect given the budget outlook going in. Much of the credit for this has to go to Gov. Herbert and the emphasis he placed on vital health and human service programs from the outset. Kudos must also be given to legislative leadership for its willingness to dip deeply into the rainy day fund to help fill the gaps.
