South Salt Lake could get hundreds of new streetlights. Electric shuttles could bring tourists to Zion National Park’s sleepy east entrance. The FrontRunner commuter line could expand its service. Foster children could gain a new path to attend the University of Utah.
These are but four of the projects Utah’s House members are supporting as Congress resurrects the controversial process known as earmarks.
Their Senate counterparts Mike Lee and Mitt Romney refuse to participate, worried that funneling money to pet projects back home is wasteful and noting that Congress banned this 10 years ago after scandals resulted in some lawmakers going to prison.
SALT LAKE CITY A plan to extend S-Line streetcar and funding for a new mid-valley Salt Lake County rapid transit bus system were just some of the projects approved under a bill that included over $1 billion in state spending to accelerate transportation and other infrastructure projects across the state.
HB433 cleared the Utah Legislature on it s second-to-last day. It authorized $264 million in bonds for specified transportation and transit projects. It also appropriated about $834.6 million in one-time spending from state revenue sources.
Sen. Kirk Cullimore, who served as the floor sponsor of the bill, explained before the legislation passed that it was meant to speed up a lot of projects on the transportation commission list and address other priority projects in Utah.
