The IMPORTANT thing here is that Utah's corrupt State Govt is profiting handsomely from the hush $$$ of these polluting Corps. Move along, nothing to see here. Go back to bed, UTAH; Your Govt is in control...
... and whatever you do, DON'T CALL IT SMOG!!!

Yes. One would hope this inversion, occurring during the Legislative meetings, would gain our lawmaker's attention. But, you know how that goes. We shall see...

Looks like a weather pattern will be blowing out the toxic air soon!!! Hopefully later today if not already!

Going forward:
Proposed budget SLASHES Gov's air quality requests.
Monitoring, ask $2.2M 1x/$400k - SLASHED to $1M/$200k.
Retrofit grants [CARROT], ask $500k - ZERO proposed.
Research - ask $250,000 cut to $100,000
FIX: Constituents of Executive Appropriations committee, ask your legislators to restore funding. http://le.utah.gov/asp/interim/Commit.asp…

I drove to SLC one Jan. day to enroll in the U. of Utah, where I'd been admitted in geology. I got out, walked around campus a bit, then got in my car and went home to Dillon. No way I was going to breathe that crap. Was thinking about going to Logan, but it was just as bad if not worse. Ended up in Bozeman.

I wonder how many others that were going to move to SLC for various things make the same choice I did?
