House Democrats are yet to take a position on the proposed agreement, said House Minority Leader Ralph Becker, D-Salt Lake City.

"It varies from person to person in our caucus," he said. "The heart of the difficulty for us has to do with the way decisions have been made on Legacy: the cost to taxpayers, the cost in time and in moving forward with the project and the fact that this settlement agreement came forward without us being involved in it."

Becker said he has talked with Huntsman and has proposed that funding for a separate project — the straightening of a portion of the 900 S. rail line in Salt Lake City — be tied to the Legacy settlement.

At his monthly news conference Thursday, Huntsman said Legacy and rail line funding should not be tied together.
