Tax Relief to Utah Citizens This week, we announced the state will provide approxi- mately $100 million in tax relief to Utah citizens. Though Utah’s economy is in an advantageous position compared to other states, many Utahns are still struggling, and the Senate wants to provide tax relief to those who need it most. The tax relief package targets families, veterans and elderly Utahns and will be accomplished by three bills: S.B. 153, S.B. 11 and H.B. 86. S.B. 153 Utah Personal Exemption Amendments, restores part of the dependent tax exemption, which was reduced in the 2017 federal tax reform, increasing taxes for many Utah families.

This investment has paid off in a trend continuing for the next decade. SUU’s 338 full-time faculty members played a key role in the enrollment increase not just in their e£ orts to retain current students but in the recruitment process as well. “The e£ orts of faculty in both recruitment and retention cannot be overstated. When we ask our recruitment colleagues about the role of faculty in this e£ ort they are eager to point out how impactful faculty are, especially during on-cam- pus visits,” said SUU Faculty Senate President Dr. Bill Heyborne. “When prospective students have the opportunity to interact with a faculty member their excitement about SUU increases substantially. We also know that the single great- est predictor of student retention is a personal connection with an SUU faculty or sta£ member. Faculty have some of the greatest opportunities to connect with students, whether in the classroom or as part of an out-of-class learning experience like an art studio, science lab, or music studio. When faculty and students connect, both learning and retention increase.

The recommendations include increased funding for education, healthcare, housing, infrastructure and transportation, and a signi˜- cant tax cut. “Last year at this time, if you told me we were going to fund education, infrastructure and cut taxes in the midst of a pandemic, I wouldn’t have believed you,” said President J. Stuart Adams. “The Legislature’s careful planning has enabled us to fund vital programs, provide bonuses for teachers, replenish rainy day funds and cut taxes for families, veterans and seniors. Despite the turbulence, our world experienced in 2020, Utah continues to be a vibrant leader for economic growth and expansion.” The budget includes an additional $75 million for education. The Legislature passed a base budget on January 28 that included a record $400 million increase for public education. “What’s happening in Utah is remarkable, especially compared to the rest of the county,” PHOTOS BY SHAY BARUFFI said Speaker Brad Wilson. “Coming out of a pandemic, we will set new funding records for education, address our a£ordable housing crisis, and provide resources to address homelessness Artist discusses land use, all while providing tax cuts for seniors, veterans, and families.

Additionally, requiring employers to use E-Verify would ensure that businesses only hire legal workers—eliminating a key driver of illegal immigration.” “American workers today compete against millions of illegal immigrants for too few jobs with wages that are too low—that’s unfair,” Senator Cotton said. “Ending the black-market for illegal labor will open up jobs for Americans. Raising the minimum wage will allow Americans ˜lling those jobs to better support their families. Our bill does both.” “This framework balances the needs of employers with opportunities for employees,” Senator Capito said. “This e£ort demonstrates there are long-term solutions that can be put forth and debated outside of a partisan process that has dubious merit in its implementation in the name of COVID relief.” “I know how dišcult it is for anyone trying to get by on the federal minimum wage, which has not been increased since 2009,” Senator Collins said. “Our bill provides a commonsense solution to help struggling families while avoiding the unintended consequence of small businesses being forced to eliminate jobs or reduce hours for their employees.” “For years I have supported the way Ohio handles the minimum wage by indexing it to in¡ation. This takes some of the politics out of the issue, provides more certainty for small businesses and workers, and prevents the sudden spikes that cost jobs,” Senator Portman said. “I’m pleased to support this legislation to provide a responsible and gradual increase to the federal minimum wage after this pandemic ends and then indexing the minimum wage to in¡ation moving forward. This approach will give both businesses and people the certainty they need and deserve. It also ensures that younger employees seeking their ˜rst job are not priced out of the workforce. Unlike the Democrats’ proposal, this bill would protect tipped workers by ensuring they are still able to work in a capacity that ensures they have larger take home pay. This legislation also ensures use of E-Verify. I’ve taken a lead on advocating for a workable E-Verify because of its proven e£ectiveness of deterring unlawful immigration and helping employers ensure they are hiring Americans. Hiring Americans for jobs available across the country will be crucial as we our 12 WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 2021 THE ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT SHOWCASE IN IRON COUNTY
