Christofferson: Revenue gains let Legislature cover $300 million in cuts
Summary
Representative Kay Christofferson said recent positive economic numbers left Utah with more revenue than expected, allowing lawmakers to cover $300 million of cuts from a major bill and to address rainy-day funds and debt costs.
Representative Kay Christofferson reported that recent state economic numbers exceeded expectations and that the Legislature was able to cover $300,000,000 of cuts from what she termed a "big beautiful bill."
