Rep. Steve Handy, R-Layton, said he received an email from a constituent who said legislators will be blamed for the tax increase.
"I'm here to take my share of the blame," Handy said. "We do not fund adequately public education in this state."
Handy said he "reluctantly supports" the tax increase, but will work during the next legislative session to better fund education.
