Salt Lake City, UT – State lawmakers continued their battle yesterday, against what they see as a federal government overstepping its bounds. They also pushed forward with concrete steps on Utah's own health care reform project. But first, lawmakers got news that Utah's 2011 budget will be $50 million less than originally forecast.
