Gov. Butch Otter has issued a statement calling for full funding of his proposal to put $50 million into a need-based scholarship fund, saying, “Our economy is growing more slowly than it was a year ago. But wise and frugal management and planning by our Legislature has helped ensure we will have enough revenue this year to provide $50 million in one-time budget surplus for the Opportunity Scholarship Trust Fund.” He added that he “will not stand for the $50 million I proposed for the Opportunity Scholarship Trust Fund being used as a piggy bank or a slush fund for other priorities or initiatives.” Click below to read his full statement.
