If it’s safe to reopen the bars and the stores and send the children back to school, why are the Salt Lake County libraries still closed? Entrance of only two people at a time is permitted by appointment only. What does Gov. Gary “Available Jones” Herbert know that Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson doesn’t? Please enlighten the rest of us.
