TRIVIA ANSWER

We gotta brush up on our civics.

Not many readers could identify the seven Utah interlocal entities established in the early 1970s to provide a common forum to identify, discuss, study and resolve area-wide problems.

Congratulations to our trivia winner Andrew Gruber who gets the honor of asking this Friday’s question.
