Rob Bishop and Gov Gary Herbert deserve praise for their service/Opinion

Deseret News We worked with Bishop and Herbert. They are two ‘authentically decent people’ Share this story Ravell Call, Deseret News Most people never get the opportunity to know their elected officials on a personal level. That’s a shame because most public officials are wonderful, interesting individuals and we tend to be more sympathetic and nicer toward people we know personally, even if we disagree with them. In that spirit, we’d like to share some personal observations about two of Utah’s recently retired elected officials for whom we were privileged to work over the past two decades. Former Gov. Gary R. Herbert and former Rep. Rob Bishop are both authentically decent people who have collectively spent many decades modeling the humility, hard work and collaborative spirit that define Utah’s success.

Mormons now a minority in Utah s biggest county, new figures show

Reporting from SALT LAKE CITY Fewer than half the residents of Salt Lake County belong to the Mormon Church, according to new figures that illustrate how Utah’s largest county is becoming more religiously diverse. Mormons account for 49% of the 1.1 million residents in Salt Lake County the lowest percentage since at least the 1930s, the Salt Lake Tribune reports. That’s according to membership figures provided by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that include active and nonactive members. Salt Lake County includes the state capital, Salt Lake City, which has long been more religiously diverse than Utah as a whole. But it also includes suburbs such as West Jordan, Sandy and South Jordan that have traditionally been Mormon hotbeds.
