Cameron: ‘Look forward to better days’

Now JFAC has finished setting the school budget; Senate Finance Chairman Dean Cameron, R-Rupert, thanked legislative budget analyst Paul Headlee, the House and Senate education committee chairmen, and all the education stakeholders who participated in meetings that helped craft the blueprint for the budget, “all of which sat at the table in very, very difficult times and reached consensus on the budget that has passed here, save one section.” He said, “I want you to know in my opinion, that’s an unprecedented move.” Added Cameron, “I want to thank the committee - obviously these are difficult decisions. … We will move forward and look forward to better days, when we can more appropriately fund public schools and other agencies.
