Abstract

THE CALIFORNIA Journal of Politics & Policy Volume 3, Issue 2 Utah 2010: Meanings of a Legislative Session, A Budget Crisis, and National Rankings Robert Paul Huefner University of Utah Abstract This report examines how Utah’s budget is surviving the “Great Recession.” Was the crisis “wasted” or was it used and, if used, for whose benefit? The report con- siders criteria by which a state is judged to be fiscally responsible, particularly in a time of economic and fiscal stress. It raises two further, and related, questions: what determines a budget total and what considerations allocate that total? The report begins with background on the cultural, economic, and political environment and the budgetary procedures within which the 2011 budget was crafted. Keywords: Utah State Budget, fiscal policy, taxes www.bepress.com/cjpp
