Worst is Over for Utah, U.S. Economy

In today's SL Tribune http://www.sltrib.com/ ,in the MONEY secton C, the headline reads:" Worst Is Over for Utah, U.S". Economists and business leaders used different words, but offered the same message: We have seen the worst and are recoverying slowly. Our public education system is funded with Tax dollars. If Income Tax, Sales Tax, and Property Tax revenues are down, our funding is hurt. Plus, we have 11,000 to 12,000 new students ready to enter our schools in the 2010-2011 year. The legislative session is only 17 days away and the legislators will have to make tough decisions that will be passed on to our districts.
