Previewing The 2021 Legislative Session On Thursday's Access Utah

utah.com

The 2021 session of the Utah Legislature begins on Tuesday and we’re going to get a preview of possible priorities, key legislation and the key players today on Access Utah. The Utah Capitol building will be closed to the public on opening day due to security concerns. Issues likely to be addressed by the legislature include tax cuts, education, and the economic effects of the pandemic.

Our guests will include Holly Richardson, Editor of Utah Policy Daily; and Damon Cann, Professor of Political Science at USU.  We’ll also talk about the extraordinary events taking place in Washington, D.C. We’d love to get your thoughts. You can email us right now to upraccess@gmail.com
