SALT LAKE CITY — Legislative leaders have been talking about water conservation and saving the Great Salt Lake, going so far as to declare it"Water Week" on Utah's Capitol Hill.
Veilleux was not happy after Senate Concurrent Resolution 6, which sets a target level for the Great Salt Lake's recovery, stalled in the Senate Natural Resources Committee on Wednesday. The resolution was officially held, putting it in limbo in the overall legislative process. "I'm deeply skeptical about what their talk means if we can’t even get a target established," said Veilleux.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Senate President J. Stuart Adams insisted lawmakers were addressing water needs and the Great Salt Lake. On Thursday, House Majority Leader Mike Schultz, R-Hooper, asked an appropriations committee for $6 million to purchase land near Salt Lake City International Airport for the lake.
