It does NOT further the important cause of racial equality in our country. We are better than this.

While the reason for the protests here and around the country may have been benign in their intent, the wanton destruction of property and endangerment of others amounts to little more than unrestrained lawlessness.

PLEASE be extra vigilant this week to help #FlattenTheCurve. Otherwise, you will likely know somebody who has contracted #coronavirus by the end of the week and someone who has died of it within 30 days. #utpol

In 2005, I passed a law making PRICE GAUGING ILLEGAL IN UTAH. The penalty for this offense is up to a $1,000 fine per incident. If you notice price gouging happening, contact the Utah Division of Consumer Protection: [phone]

People say “well what did people do before vaccines/antibiotics/pasteurisation?” as if that’s an argument for going natural.

They died, Carol. A lot of people died.
