Utah lawmakers move quickly on a late-emerging plan to borrow $1.6 billion for transportation projects
(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) The intersection of I-215 and Redwood road is one of the projects that UDOT has identified as one of the 10 big construction projects for 2018. Monday, April 2, 2018. In the last week of the legislative session, Utah lawmakers are trying to hurry through a plan to borrow another $1.6 billion to speed transportation projects.
After nearly 10 minutes of debate — with no comments from public witnesses — the Senate Transportation Committee voted 5-0 to approve SB268 and sent it to the full Senate. The bill was introduced just last Friday.
