Sen. Jim Dabakis (D)

SB 151 (Property Tax Relief Modifications)

Libertas Institute supports this bill.

Utahns use more water than they otherwise would if they knew how much it costs. Many water districts hide the true cost in the property tax rather than on one's water bill. This bill would require urban areas to stop this practice of subsidizing water consumption through property taxes.

Libertas Institute supports this bill. Utah is a desert state and conservation of this precious resource is important. Marketing campaigns and harassment by elected officials have proven ineffective. Allowing market forces to apply to water consumption will provide the change that Utah needs.
