Summary
Daniel Sprague, Executive Director of the Council of State Governments, delivered remarks to the Utah Senate emphasizing CSG’s Western regional focus, proposed dues allocation changes and the organization’s role in advancing state leadership and regional cooperation.
The Utah Senate heard from Daniel Sprague, executive director of the Council of State Governments (CSG), during a Committee of the Whole session.
