Governor announces Utah rated among best‑managed states by Governing Magazine
Summary
Governor Leavitt delivered a Committee of the Whole address announcing that Governing Magazine ranked Utah among the nation’s top states for management, highlighting an A in financial management and high marks in capital and technology categories.
The Senate resolved into a Committee of the Whole to hear Governor Leavitt, who presented advanced copies of a Governing Magazine report. The governor said the magazine judged Utah "again the best managed state in America," noting top grades for financial management and strong results in capital and technology management.
He described the evaluation as comprehensive and based on interviews and reviews across state government, and he asked the Legislature to share in the recognition of the report’s findings. Senate leadership thanked the governor and accepted the report card for the chamber.
The Committee of the Whole dissolved and the Senate resumed its floor business.
