In many ways, the budget is similar to the one proposed by former Gov. Olene Walker last month. During a subdued mid-afternoon news conference in a room at the state Capitol a setting that contrasted greatly with Walker's enthusiastic December news conference in front of a packed auditorium Huntsman placed particular emphasis on his proposals to improve Utah's image with businesses and tourists, concerns that essentially doubled the economic development budget. His proposals include $10 million for tourism promotion, a $2 million increase to help attract new business and $4.8 million in one-time money to help keep Hill Air Force Base open.
