Sen. Dean Cameron, R-Rupert, said he and Rep. Maxine Bell, R-Jerome, met with Gov. Butch Otter to discuss the parks fund-shift. "The dilemma is that the governor recognizes a significant funding shortage for transportation," Cameron said. "He had a certain dollar amount he was trying to reach. ... He's caught, he's stuck. It was a recommendation made by (legislative) leadership." Cameron said, "His  caution to me was, look, I'd be willing to repeal it, provided that you're going to provide additional funding for our highways." The governor does recognize, Cameron said, that the state's highway fund is healthier than expected right now due to savings on contracts this year from bids coming in lower than expected. "I believe he is willing to go along with the potential delay for a year, and he is willing to go along with a repeal ... upon finding additional resources for transportation."
