(Bethany Rodgers | The Salt Lake Tribune) Gov. Herbert (at podium) is joined by Senate President Stuart Adams (left of governor) and House Speaker Brad Wilson (right), to announce there will be no tax reform plan this legislative session, Thursday, March 7. Instead, Republican leaders will work with business, education and community interests over the next few months to come up with an overhaul that tries to address the many concerns raised. The news conference was held in the state Capitol Gold Room.
