Rep. Ken Ivory sponsored HB138 in 2011 which required the state of Utah to report how much federal funding it received, and how departments would be affected by a 5% cut in federal funding and a 25% cut.
Utah receives about $5 Billion of its $12 billion budget from the federal government. As federal debt becomes ever more overwhelming, I hope federal funding will be reduced to all states including Utah. That means Utah is acting very responsibly to consider how it will react to such cuts.
The state report is available for all to review at http://www.le.utah.gov/lfa/reports/bbib/appeac_12-14-11_1.pdf
