Members of the Utah Legislature had a lot of work to do in the 45 days of the 2018 session. Friday, we're reviewing what they said they'd do, what they accomplished, what they left undone, and what that means for Utahns.
Friday, we’re recapping the action on Capitol Hill during the 2018 Utah Legislative Session. With more bills filed than ever before, legislators had a lot of work to do in 45 days. They debated school funding, the death penalty, medical marijuana, and revamping UTA. Thanks to the legislature, a statue of Martha Hughes Canon will grace the Capitol, toll roads are coming to Utah, and we have a new state dinosaur. Speaker Greg Hughes and Senator Jim Dabakis will join us, and we hope you will, too.
