At the time, Hughes said he and Rep. Jim Dunnigan voted for the Utah Access Plus plan. A plan that had been negotiated with top Republican leaders. Reporters criticized the house leadership for holding the closed meeting and not allowing the public to hear the debate of leaders At the time Hughes suggested that reporters ask all the members of the 63 person caucus how they voted if they wanted to know exactly who voted for what "I don't think they're going to hide it.

We do know the proposal failed overwhelmingly, one lawmaker says the vote was 57-7. Here is what we found during our research: Voted NO Daniel McCay Voted YES Rich Cunningham Jake Anderegg Johnny Anderson Kraig Powell David Lifferth Raymond Ward Brad Daw Mike Noel Earl Tanner Kay Christofferson Kay McIff Greg Hughes Jon Stanard Brian Greene Mike
