Legislative Activity Dominates the Coming Week

Monday, February 22, begins early at 8:00 AM with a House Revenue and Taxation Committee meeting where proposed changes to the income tax code will be discussed. That is where Joel and Pat will start the week. The DEA Executive board will meet at 4:00 PM for updates on the legislature and other DEA business.

Wednesday, February 24, will once again be UEA Educators on the Hill. Several Davis educators will join the UEA and DEA lobbying teams for a day filled with legislative observation and contacts. Following that day of activity will be a meeting of the Membership Committee at 4:00 PM.

The only thing that is constant at the DEA office is change. We start every week knowing that what is planned for the week will have to be adjusted to accommodate new legislative developments, concerns called in from schools, and unexpected meetings with legislators and candidates.

Be sure to check here for continuing updates and visit UEA Under the Dome for help with contacting legislators and keeping up-to-date on the latest news.
