“It is ‘disingenuous’ for Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. to call a special session on vouchers before the Nov. 6 public vote, says House Speaker Greg Curtis, who vows to ‘vigorously’ fight against repealing HB174 if such a session is called. ‘I disagree vehemently with the governor’ about calling a special session to repeal HB174, Curtis said regarding the second of two voucher bills. Curtis, R-Sandy, made his arguments after Huntsman released a letter on vouchers last weekend. Huntsman, a Republican, said in his letter that he would call a special legislative session to fix the two-bill voucher problem if Utah courts don’t quickly rule that the Nov. 6 election is ‘definitive.’ The election would allow voters to decide whether private-school vouchers should be allowed in the state.” (05/31/07)
