At their early-morning work session before JFAC this morning, lawmakers struggled a bit to be clear on what exactly the governor’s favoring. “I’m not sure we know what makes him happy at this point,” Sen. Dean Cameron, R-Rupert, commented, but noted that lawmakers still are working with a written proposal from the governor. “He made certain agreements and we agreed to certain things. … It was a compromise.” He also noted, “We have lots of rumors and lots of agreements, but only one in writing.” This morning, JFAC will vote on various “trailer” appropriations to reflect bills already passing that have a cost, plus make the big, final calls on the amount of personnel cost reductions statewide, whether or not there are across-the-board pay cuts for state employees, and how remaining federal stimulus funds should be spent.
