Reactions to the verdict guilty on all counts in the case against ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin erupted across the country Tuesday afternoon.

Black Lives Matter Utah also plans to rally at the Salt Lake City Public Safety Building Tuesday evening. 2News has been informed of plans to march from the public safety building to the city s Fleet block, where murals of men and women killed by police officers are displayed at 300 West and 800 South.
SALT LAKE CITY Utah Legislature leaders on Friday revealed the members who will serve on a 20-person committee tasked with helping craft the state s voting boundaries for the next decade.
The group committee is separate from the Utah Independent Redistricting Commission, which was formed earlier this year after it was first created through the passage of 2018 s Proposition 4, and conducted its first meeting earlier this week.
The independent commission is tasked with providing feedback and information to the legislative committee, which, in turn, makes a recommendation to the Utah Legislature about the final voting maps in the state. The maps voted on later this year will include the congressional, legislative and school board districts for the next 10 years.

American Humane makes the astonishing claim that as many as 100,000 dogs are killed each year riding unrestrained in the back of a pickup truck. A new state legislator in Utah has introduced the Transportation of Dogs Act to make sure this potentially dangerous activity becomes illegal.
Currently, only six states have specific laws against this sort of thing.
The state of Utah is about to consider legislation to make it illegal to let your dog(s) ride in the bed of a pickup truck.

Unrestrained dogs can be tossed around in the bed or fall off while the truck is moving a problem with an easy solution, but even easy may be too hard for people used to the practice. Still, if the American Humane organization s claim that 100,000 dogs die each year from riding in pickup-truck beds is anywhere near r
