Trivia answer

Thanks to Charlie Roberts for last week’s question about which Utah mayor was removed from office for “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Grantsville Mayor Keith Brown was sanctioned because of his involvement in a case over the killing of several dogs. The case eventually made it to the Utah Supreme Court. You can read more about it here – http://bit.ly/2YiKRN2
