Huntsman's statement

When voters enter the polling booths in November they deserve a clear pathway forward on Utah's voucher policy.

Right now there are several lawsuits moving through the judicial system, and I will be watching with great interest to see if clarity results. If the voters of Utah are not given understanding from that judicial process within a reasonable amount of time, I will do whatever is necessary to ensure an up or down vote.

I consider the public's voice on the HB148 referendum to be the ultimate decision on Utah's voucher policy. I will call the Legislature into a special session if necessary to assure the finality of the November vote. — Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.
