State budget cuts
The Utah State Legislature handled the budget deficit by announcing Friday a series of cuts throughout the various state agencies. Utah State Parks and the Division of Wildlife Resources each took hits.
The DWR met the requests to reduce its budget by 3 percent by cutting back on planned turkey transplants, reduced the money used to manage the Range Creek Wildlife Management Area and cutting money to buy seed to benefit wildlife on private land. The cut equaled $244,000 in funds to the DWR. Officials say the cut will not have a significant impact on operations.
State Parks was also asked to submit a 3% cut, which totaled around $370,000. The cuts will reduce in-state and out-of-state travel, the marketing budget and reduce the hiring of seasonal employees.
