A legislative panel voted Friday to wipe out Utah’s Office of Ethnic Affairs, as well as to cut funding for cancer research, stop printing tax booklets and eliminate the state’s property-rights ombudsman.
The vote came as the Business, Economic Development and Labor Appropriations subcommittee made preliminary recommendations to shave $16 million from programs, part of an effort by the Legislature to cut more than a half-billion dollars from the state’s budget.
