Every year during the legislative session a lot of us in utah get discouraged and wonder why we live here. I want to remind any who will listen, this is a great place with problems but there are a lot of us who are working very hard to change that. Please don't give up on us.

“There’s no constitutional right to be free from partisan gerrymandering." That statement by Utah's congressional delegation is jaw-dropping. If elections aren't free and fair, voting is pointless and American democracy is dead. #utpol sltrib.com/opinion/2023/06/0…

This state’s government has jumped squarely into nationalist nanny state territory of the trump era. The Herbert days are starting to look like a time of enlightenment.

Honest question because I don’t know the answer. Is what you are saying just a technicality? Does it effectively ban abortions in clinics because only hospitals meet those standards? I’m not being facetious, I do not know the answer.

"This widening gap between the people on the bottom and everyone else has created an unfortunate situation where a growing segment of the population is just being priced out of the rental market, including a lot of families," @Bill_Tibbitts explained. ksl.com/article/50585212/new…

Utah needs 200 units of supportive housing for chronically homeless families with children so that no child lives in a shelter in our state for more than six months. #utpol #utleg crossroadsurbancenter.org/ne…

You cannot overstate the role that childcare costs plays in the lives of low income parents of very young children. You cannot go to work if you do not have a safe place for your child to stay. #utpol #utleg crossroadsurbancenter.org/ne…

Since 1923, The Road Home has served as a cornerstone of Salt Lake County’s community. Originally established as the Travelers Aid Society to help stranded travelers, our agency has changed & grown to meet the ever-increasing needs of people who have become homeless.

Another perfect example of what teachers do every day to ensure their students are supported, loved, and ready to learn. And yes, these teachers are members of their union. #utpol #utleg #uted
