Curtis says Cheney is right that the 2020 election was legitimate, but he may support her ouster anyway
Rep. John Curtis agrees with Rep. Liz Cheney.
He agrees the presidential election was legitimate, and Republicans should resist those who tell lies about it, including former President Donald Trump.
But that doesn’t mean he won’t vote to remove Cheney for her leadership position within the House Republican caucus.
Controversial Utah school board member draws fire for posts accusing teacher of promoting communism
Jordan School District says the allegations are not true.
Natalie Cline | Updated: Feb. 19, 2021, 1:07 a.m.
Utah’s state school board distanced itself Thursday from a member after she attacked a teacher on social media publicly posting the teacher’s name, the school where she works and accusing her, without offering evidence
, of instructing students that “communism is better than our form of government.”
Board member Natalie Cline also encouraged her followers to share the information and urged them to “take action” against the middle school English teacher. Several responded by calling on social media for the teacher to be fired for indoctrinating kids and urging the teacher to leave the country.
MURRAY â Even though some people in Murray and Calloway County are now receiving a vaccine intended to fight COVID-19, the disease still holds a firm grip.
That was evident Tuesday afternoon, because instead of gathering as a group at Murray City Hall, the incoming members of the Murray City Council had their swearing-in ceremony via virtual communication. The council had returned to in-person meetings for a few months after going to virtual shortly after the pandemic entered Murray and Calloway County in March, but went back to virtual in November after a major surge of cases locally.
âIâm thinking this is going to be the wave of the future for a while,â said Councilman Burton Young, who was among those raising his right hand at the direction of Mayor Bob Rogers, who directed the ceremony from the City Council Chambers inside City Hall while staring at a computer screen full of squares, inside which were images of the council members.
MURRAY â Probably no one was surprised Thursday when it came to the annual City/County Meeting of Murray-Calloway County Hospital and the main topic of discussion.
With the COVID-19 pandemic having brought fear and uncertainty to not just citizens but especially health care facilities this year, the coronavirus was certain to have a large place in this meeting with the members of the Murray City Council and Calloway County Fiscal Court. The hospitalâs role in combatting the virus has been extensive since it arrived in March, but hospital CEO Jerry Penner said that pace has exploded since about August when the number of patients began increasing dramatically.
