Congressman Chris Cannon urges support for federal help on education and the Olympics
Summary
U.S. Rep. Chris Cannon addressed the Utah House, urging continued fiscal discipline and expressing confidence in congressional support for Olympic funding despite recent criticism.
The Utah House received Congressmember Chris Cannon in Committee of the Whole. Cannon praised the state’s fiscal discipline, urged cooperation between federal and state officials on education and crime, and expressed confidence that congressional support for Olympic funding would remain despite recent criticism of the Olympic funding process.
Responding to a question about Olympic funding, Cannon said he had spoken with many members of Congress and that they viewed the Games as ‘‘America’s games’’ and would support Utah’s financing needs. He called crime ‘‘a local issue’’ and praised Utah's efforts to address it locally. Cannon took several questions from members before the House thanked him and dissolved the Committee of the Whole.
The visit was a nonlegislative address and concluded without formal action.
