Is tax overhaul too big an issue for a special session? Utah Eagle Forum’s president says yes, and some legislators might agree.

Provo • State lawmakers who announced the disintegration of a major tax reform package earlier this year tempered the news by saying they hoped to return in a special session to wrap up unfinished business.

A couple months have passed since then, and Utah’s legislative leaders have only just appointed the task force charged with reimagining the state’s tax structure. But not everyone believes a special session should come on the heels of the panel’s final report.

On Wednesday, the Utah Eagle Forum's Gayle Ruzicka implored Gov. Gary Herbert and House Speaker Brad Wilson to hold off on tax reform until the next regular session.
