2024 UT Senate race: on Budget & Economy

Brad Wilson: We make sure that our spending can't get out of control

In Salt Lake City, Wilson said the tax cuts came not "because the economy was growing and the revenues were growing" but "because we constrained spending. We have specific tools and levers we use to make sure that our spending can't get out of control," he explained, allowing the legislature to "give that money back to Utahns. It seems like that's something here that just isn't even understood," he emphasized of D.C.'s love affair with spending taxpayer dollars. Source: TownHall.com on 2024 Utah Senate race Oct 8, 2023
