Seth Jarvis states it well in his Dec. 11 letter to The Public Forum. Utah never had a budget surplus, but instead a shortfall of funding for much-needed services to Utah’s most vulnerable citizens.
What about funding for Medicaid expansion that Utah legislators have continued to reject even though Proposition 3 was voted on and passed in the 2018 election? What is currently being proposed is not a tax cut for the underserved but instead a tax increase for those who can least afford it.
Would our governor have them eat cake?
