Battle Won. Pillaging Begins.
Having handily defeated the voucher referendum, the Utah Education Association and its allies want to get their hands on the money the state legislature had budgeted for the program.
The money resides in the general fund - put there purposely so that opponents couldn't claim vouchers would reduce funding to public schools (they did anyway). Now the debate is on whether to spend the general funds for general purposes or to drop the spoils into the K-12 bucket.
The Daily Herald quotes Kirk Jowers, director of the Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah, as saying failure to deliver the tribute "would really be seen as sour grapes."

Our corrupt, one-party legislature believes more money will help private schools but would obviously be wasted on public schools. They'll spend the surplus on highways.
The question is, what else will they do to get revenge on 62 percent of the electorate? I think they will try to make it even harder to get a referendum on the ballot.
