Access Utah is a daily topical program hosted by Tom Williams. It airs Monday through Friday at 9 AM on Utah Public Radio.
We debate Constitutional Amendment A in the first half of the program, continuing our Vote Utah series. The amendment proposes the Utah Constitution be amended to require a portion of the revenue from all state severance taxes be deposited in the state trust fund, beginning in 2016.
A severance tax is a tax required of all those who extract oil, gas or minerals from land within the state. This amendment would exclude resources taken from Native American tribal land within the state.
In the second half is a debate for Utah House District 3 between Jack Draxler and Roger Donohoe.
