    Strong agree. Would also suggest that tech cos who insist on building HQs at point of the mountain find a way to provide employee shuttles from Provo, Farmington, SLC and Park City.

    In my opinion, the biggest issue in Utah that we need to collectively fix is air quality. I hate big government but this is actually where govt can help. Let’s get this fixed. Incentivize more electric cars... worthwhile read

    Come join next Weds 5 Sept, 6.30pm till 8pm in Parliament Sq. MPs will be back from their hols, so it's a great chance to let them see general scepticism about Brexit. I'll be there with a picnic rug and snacks. There's a FB page if you're a FB person

    I don't understand why we're going ahead with Brexit so I'm going to peacefully sit in Parliament Square and say just that. WEDNESDAY 6.30pm till 8pm I made a t-shirt and everything. If you're around, come join me.
