"Our country was founded on passionate disagreement, debate and compromise, but we are losing the ability to have hard policy conversations without calling names, using pejorative language and taking things personally."

In my family we have a variety of political views represented. In my monthly @cityjournals column I shared tips on how we have tried to improve political discourse in our family. #utpol

I fulfilled my ride-along dreams with Officer Kasey Griffin of the West Jordan Police Department. 🚔

The department is the first city in Utah to participate in the "Lights On" initiative that replaces fix-it tickets with redeemable vouchers.

Kindess and community are literally everywhere. Something I love about the city journal is our focus on celebrating and building community across the Wasatch Front.

Read more about the MVP Facility here: https://t.co/kVguEtTlOk

[Rebecca Olds @rolds22]

The MVP (Medically Vulnerable People) Facility opened in Sandy one month ago in a converted motel. It already has about 60 residents who are homeless.

Pamela Atkinson called it a "special place" that recognizes people and let's them know, "we care about you."

[Governor Cox @GovCox]

What can you do to help our homeless friends? As our dear friend Pamela Atkinson says, “When everyone gives a little bit, we can do a lot.”

One way Utahns can help out is by donating to the Pamela Atkinson Homeless Trust Fund. You can donate directly on your tax form, or by visiting https://t.co/PHVCpen7G8. In the past year, organizations across the state have received funding from this fund to support statewide emergency shelter and winter response.

Filling the gaps in our existing homeless service system is a top priority for our administration, so please join us!

There were a few times while writing this that I felt uncomfortable ... simply because I didn't know what to expect.
