Senator Wayne Neiderhauswer will discuss his recently passed (with the support of the Utah Technology Council) legislation that provides investment tax credits to angel investors and even some venture capital limited partners. This is highly relevant to our community and should be of great interest to attorneys and accountants who may be wondering how this impacts their small business and investment community clients.
Following Senator Neiderhauser, we'll have the Lt. Governor speak about Utah's economic situation. Thankfully, Utah has not been impacted nearly so much as the rest of the country from what looks ever more like a recession. Lt. Governor Herbert will give us some insight about Utah's prospects in this tough economic environment.
