Thanks to all the folks who attended the Town Hall meeting on January 20th. A vibrant and passionate crowd of about 150 constituents were in attendance. Rep. Sheryl Allen, Sen. Dan Liljenquist, and I jointly hosted this meeting and shared in the answering of open questions from the audience. The focus of questions centered around what are universally thought to be the three main forces on the budget this session: the growth of Medicaid, viability of the Utah Retirement System, and funding of public education. Thank you to all those who attended. A write-up of the meeting was compiled by Paul Reimann of Bountiful. It is in Word format and can be accessed on the sidebar to the right of this blog homepage under the heading “Resources.” You can also access it from this address: http://www.utahbecky.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Town-Hall-2010-Jan-20-btfl-libr.doc.
Please let me know if you have clarifications or corrections on the record made by Mr. Reimann. We are greatly indebted to him for his copious note taking, but realize it is a living document. Again, thanks for those who attended and please stay in contact!
