IMPACT

UTST – Utah leaders organized 250 personal emails to Governor Cox and legislators in support of the UT Stronger Tomorrow agenda, and published this op-ed in the Salt Lake Tribute.  In the May 19 special session, the Legislature allocated the first $600 million in discretionary funds.  Thanks to the outreach efforts of UTST – Utah, approximately $300 million went to projects we identified as priorities.  

MOVING FORWARD

The legislature will continue to make decisions over the next year on allocating the remaining $1 billion in discretionary funds, as well as hundreds of millions in child care, public health, and housing funds. UTST – Utah will be involved in these crucial decisions every step of the way to ensure that every aspect of our agenda gets funded.  

It is important that we let our elected officials know each and every day what we want them to do.
