Thank you Jon Huntsman and Greg Curtis for pushing the removal of sales tax on food.
Thank you Scott McCoy, leading Senate Democrat, for recognizing what the Republicans did was the right thing for Utahns.
After the record amounts appropriated to education, boo to the UEA who once again can't say anything positive.
PS--I love how positive stories on the Utah Legislature don't garner any comments. This Web 2.0 (comments section) is far too negative and vitriolic.
You need to vote against everyone because the entire legislature, republican and democrat, voted for the income tax reductions and reform.
Originally hailing from the Commonwealth, and its socialist tax system that can generally be described as nothing short of oppressive, I am relieved to see to see a move like this from our state government. It's a breath of fresh air.
Spending more money on schools does not guarantee high quality schools. I travel to California on business enough to know that. Taxes there are high, and a lot of money is pumped into their public schools...schools that, in my opinion, are not places I'd send my own children. I am QUITE happy with the public schools my kids attend here in Davis County.
Generally speaking, tax cuts helps Utah families. Yes, we need to properly fund our public schools, infrastructure repair and maintenance, and other things we depend on from our government. However, with gas and food prices soaring, Utah families could use a tax cut...espcially given the fact that we have quite a surplus.
A flat tax is the most fair, wheter we're talking about personal income, sales tax, etc.

We don't have a surplus of anything. All we have is an underfunded school system with teachers leaving the state at a time when we need them most.
WE DON'T WANT TAX CUTS! WE WANT PROPERLY FUNDED SCHOOLS. WE WANT TO MAKE IT UP TO 50 OUT OF 51 IN EDUCATION SPENDING INSTEAD OF ALWAYS BEING LAST!
I will remember.
