Lawmaker calls for more clarity on Huntsman, U.
Rep. Keith Grover, R-Provo, told the Deseret News on Tuesday that he will look for more information about the ongoing relationship between the University of Utah and the Huntsman Cancer Institute, the Deseret News reported.
Grover said he hopes to find clarity on the matter.
"It's something we want to look into," Grover said. "We want to make sure (state) monies are appropriately accounted for."
Rep. Francis Gibson, R-Mapleton, said there are unanswered questions about the “aftermath of a power play for control of the cancer institute that played out with the sudden firing — then reinstatement — of its director and CEO, Mary Beckerle; the resignation of the U.'s senior vice president of health sciences, Dr. Vivian Lee; and U. President David Pershing's announcement that he will move up the timetable on his retirement,” the Deseret News reported.

GOP passes bill that could affect overtime pay
The House of Representatives just passed a bill that will affect anyone who gets paid for overtime work, CNN Money reported.

No Democrats voted in favor of the bill, which is called the Working Families Flexibility Act, CNN reported.
"I don't think there's anything more powerful than giving them more control over their time so that they can make the best decisions for themselves and their families," Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Washington, said, according to CNN Money.
