Legislative Session Begins

Today is the first day of the legislative session for 2010. As you probably know, Senator Killpack resigned recently and the Davis GOP has recommended that the governor appoint former Layton Mayor Jerry Stevenson to the position. With the resignation of Senator Killpack, the Senate leadership has changed as well.
UEA is once again planning Educator Days on the Hill beginning February 5. Let Susan know if you are interested in participating in one of those events. Other activities will be scheduled to emphasize to legislators our concerns about funding, retirement, etc. Follow this blog and the UEA Under the Dome for updates and information.
The UEA team has been active for several weeks already even before the start of the session. Kory Holdaway, UEA Director of Government Relations, is well known among the legislators and will be a great spokesman for educators having only recently left the classroom.
