A day after pulling the plug on tax reform, legislative leaders on Friday cancelled a crucial budget meeting aimed at finalizing much of the state’s spending plan for next year.
Legislative leaders had little to say about the delay, but advocates were left to worry whether or not they would get their requested appropriations.
“When we have agreement between the two chambers we will meet,” Rep. Val Peterson, an Orem Republican who sits on the Executive Appropriations Committee, said Friday.
Sen. Jerry Stevenson, a Layton Republican who is co-chairperson of the spending committee, said in a text that “major changes” could come out of ongoing talks, but would not comment beyond that.
