This is crazy! The Iowa Attorney General found 95% or more of the transactions using these machines were scams and hundreds of them are here in Utah. #utpol https://t.co/91zu5djsmQ

[Governor Cox @GovCox]

It’s time to eliminate Utah’s tax on Social Security benefits. This change will provide real relief to over 150,000 seniors in Utah, allowing them to keep more of their hard-earned income. Let’s make life better for our aging population and their families.

@DN_Marjorie @hinckleyinst @UTPublicEd @myuea @UTBoardofEd Interesting information! Thanks for reporting it. Is there a link to the survey data? I wondered about the opposition numbers being exactly the same for those 57+ and those ages 41-56. Is that right or a mistake?

@stacykstanford So sorry Stacy! It all seems to come at once!

A new report estimates Utah has 340,000 unpaid family caregivers providing $5.5 billion worth of care. These family members relieve strain on our health care system and need more support including a caregiver tax credit and workplace flexibility. #utpol

@marianburn @BenWinslow @fox13 The bill would expand eligibility for Utah’s Social Security tax credit meaning more SS recipients would pay less (or no) state income tax on their SS benefits.

[Larry Levitt @larry_levitt]

New: Rural hospitals in general have struggled recently. But, they are especially struggling in states that have not expanded Medicaid under the ACA.

“Social Security isn’t meant to fill state coffers,” says Danny Harris, director of advocacy for the Utah office of AARP. “It was meant to carry people throughout their retirement years.” #utpol https://t.co/HOjHDh28RD

@SchottHappens This is the real headline! Utah is hidding extra “d”s all over the place.

A new AARP Utah survey shows 19% of Utahns want to better fund programs, 20% want tax cuts, 8% want more in rainy-day funds, but 48% want a combo of all three. Targeted tax cuts/credits plus funding important programs is a winning strategy #utpol #utleg https://t.co/kFXALgHjJH

[AARP Utah @AARPUT]
