Utah Legislative leaders push debate takeover plan using budget loophole Utah legislative leaders are circumventing normal procedures to fund a $600,000 politician-controlled debate committee, despite the bill being rejected by a House committee.

"No" apparently doesn't mean "no" in the Utah Legislature.

Despite committee rejection, legislative leaders are using a budget maneuver to move forward with a plan to have the state take over pre-election political debates.
