- That moderate Republicans are working to block "a tiny minority of party zealots"
- That Utah enacted a moderate immigration policy
- That major projects have been completed to enhance our community, including the City Creek Center and "a pair of first-rate museums, the Leonardo on Library Square, and the spectacular Natural History Museum..." [Salt Lake Tribune]
