Why they went ahead with the bill

House Speaker Lawerence Denney, R-Midvale, said the House decided to go ahead and pass its first budget bill today after all, in part because, “We just wanted to have one sent over to the Senate, and besides, that debate was already open on that bill.” It also helped, he said, that there’s now talk of a possible trailer bill to settle the personnel cuts issue after budget bills go through. “I think we have to continue our work, and know that that was probably not the final solution that’s coming,” the speaker said.
