STATE SPENDING - Utah voters appear to have turned down an amendment to the state's constitution that would have increased how much lawmakers can spend during an emergency legislative session.
With 53 percent of precincts reported as of early Monday morning, Constitutional Amendment A had 37 percent of the votes in favor of it, and 63 percent voting against it.
"Currently, the legislature has the ability to call itself into special session in the event of an emergency or some other big event to deal with urgent matters," House Speaker Brad Wilson, R-Kaysville, said in an interview with FOX 13 News last month."Constitutional Amendment A raises the cap in the amount of money the legislature can deal with in a special session they call."
