Time, precious legislative time, on bill that was passed this body before and dont go anywhere. In our most recent bandaid for government funding, House Republicans made a claim that chip was extended until march 31. But that wasnt the case. By some reports states could run out of funding in the next few weeks. In colorado, our budget experts predict well run out of Childrens Health insurance money by the end of february. Cancellation letters are literally scheduled to go out at the end of this month. Mr. Speaker, this simply isnt a way to govern. Crisis to crisis, ignoring the real issues people care about to consider special interest legislation. Whats the Republican Leadership and Trump Administration continue to refuse to work on finding a bipartisan solution for the hundreds of thousands of deferred action for childhood arrival, for Daca Recipients, who are in limbo. We can put that bill on the floor today, the dream act. I feel it would pass. We have the votes to do so. Mr. Speak
Those kinds of programs are along that same pattern. Governor herbert we could talk all look the about all of the great things happening in the state. The number one focus a governor should have is to grow the economy. It is hard to have anything else happen if you dont have a healthy economy and difficult if it is going in the wrong direction. Utah has a very healthy economy right now but one area we have specialized in is to capitalize on the fact we have the air force base in utah, which has one of the best test and training ranges for air force military in north america. I appreciate the fact in the latest paris air show, the dreamliner and its accelerated takeoff and the airbus 380 and 350 and how theyre able to maneuver at very slow speeds and yet have elevation. It is uncanny how these massive airplanes stay afloat. One of the reasons they can do that is because they have composite material and low weight that allows them to perform in ways they have not been able to do before.

Twoyear school. And the Graduation Rates are extremely low. They get automatic guarantee to get into unc chapel hill. It has been phenomenal. And if you meet some of those students, you would be blown away. One of them i met grew up in nigeria from a very poor family, wartorn area. Saw is a poster of unc and dreamed about being at unc. How she ever made it i cant tell you. Went to unc, head of her class in nursing, going to medical school. So we have to keep remembering not all students will do the traditional path. But if were going to make accessibility, affordability the brand for our nation, we need to do this. We need to start before. We need to give the support they need. We need the advising on the ground. And we need to continue to draw from such a broad range that we dont miss so many students who are out there.
