Letter: Replace Brigham Young with Martha Hughes Cannon

(Steve Griffin | The Salt Lake Tribune) Statue of Dr. Martha Hughes Cannon at the Utah State Capitol. SJR1, a concurrent resolution initiating the replacement of the state's statue of Philo Farnsworth in the United States Capitol with a statue of Dr. Martha Hughes Cannon, passes out of the Senate and heads to the House, following discussion in the Senate Chamber in the State Capitol in Salt Lake City Monday January 29, 2018.

Instead of replacing the Philo Farnsworth statue, replace Brigham Young with Martha Hughes Cannon. This would keep the Utah technical genius on display and still have a Mormon politician in the capital.
