A statement from Voices for Utah Children released Tuesday argued that the state’s K-12 public education system has ranked last in the nation in per-pupil investment since 1988. The group attributes that funding shortfall to the fact that “Utah’s overall level of taxation is now at its lowest level in 50 years relative to Utahns’ incomes, following multiple rounds of tax cutting.”
Weinstein added that a recent survey by the Utah Foundation revealed that 75 percent of Utahns oppose more tax cuts and are willing to pay higher taxes to fund education, air quality and transportation improvements.
