Governor Herbert and a Legislature Wrap-Up Program on Access Utah Thursday

business.utah.gov

Governor Gary Herbert will join us on Thursday’s Access Utah.  We’ll ask him about Medicaid expansion, guns, the possible prison move, air quality, the economy, and anything else you’d like us to talk about.  We’ll also ask the governor if there are any bills he may veto.  Later in the program Sen. Todd Weiler R-Woods Cross joins us to talk about his proposal that we look at changing Attorney General from an elected to an appointed office. Finally, we’ll get a Democratic reaction to the recently-concluded legislative session from Rep. Rebecca Chavez-Houck D-Salt Lake City.

You can join the discussion at 1-800-826-1495, online at http://www.upr.org/programs/access-utah, on Twitter @utahpublicradio, and by email to upraccess@gmail.com  Access Utah is 9:00 to 10:00 Thursday morning on UPR.
