Situational awareness – February 11, 2019

Good Monday morning from Salt Lake City.

Monday’s news at a glance: Donald Trump is the 2020 frontrunner in Utah. Lawmakers advance their scaled back Medicaid expansion. Talks to avoid another government shutdown falter.


Trivia winners: Culbert Olson served as a Utah State Senator from 1916 to 1920. He moved to California and became governor of that state in 1939. The first three readers to send in a correct answer were:

  • Mike Mower (2 in a row for him)
  • Terry Camp
  • Chase Everton
  • Honorable mention for funniest answer goes to Ric Cantrell who suggested “Jim Dabakis in the future.”
