Improving Utah’s economy will bring in revenues, which in turn will generate additional funds for education, said Gov. Gary Herbert.
The governor spoke to about 200 members of the Northern Utah Chamber Coalition at Weber State University Davis campus.
The coalition, which was formed four years ago, consists of the chambers of commerce from Brigham City, Cache County, Ogden-Weber and Davis County, The group works together on issues that cross county boundaries, like transportation, education, economic development and tourism.
Herbert was asked how the state can generate more funds for education.
Herbert said lawmakers have two choices: Raise taxes or find ways to improve the economy. Standard Examiner
