Welcome to The Senate Site

It's the final full week of the legislative session and things are going smashingly. Legislative leadership is meeting again at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning to work on the budget for our Friday deadline. There is a lot to do, but we believe this is a session that will make Utahns proud.

Happy President’s Day. From Lincoln’s blog:

"As we turn the final corner of the 57th Legislature, this week signifies the end to considering a bill from one's own chamber -- After Friday, no more House bills will be heard in the House and no more Senate bills will be heard in the Senate. This week also means the end to committee hearings. Wednesday will be the last day for committee hearings, so if you still have a bill that has not yet been heard by a committee it is certainly "crunch time". As you can see by the events that will unfold this week, the end is near -- This will actually be the last full week of the legislature and we will only spend three days of next week going through theses issues.

"While the end is in sight, the fun is just beginning. Significant debates on Transportation Funding, Tax Cuts (Sales and Income Tax), Telecommunications, and Land Use regulation still need to be conducted. In fact, it is safe to say the most of the work will actually be done in the next 8 days. Late nights and early mornings are now the mantra .... "

Let’s hope sleep deprivation helps you vote based on your constituents needs instead of the lobbyist of corporate America.
