https://www.npr.org/2021/05/04/991943295/tech-sees-bigger-opportunity-in-utah-if-the-state-works-on-its-imageSome high tech companies may like Utah, but the following quote (taken from the transcript) by state Representative Brad Wilson suggests that the Beehive state may have some problems with these newcomers:
"BRAD WILSON: Utah is distinctive and very special, and we should protect distinctive Utah and not be afraid of or embarrassed by the things that make Utah
different."
Given some of Utah's laws on sex and alcohol (among other things) that are endorsed by the state religion, I think that Mr. Wilson and his colleagues may have to choose between the state's religion and the high tech businesses it wants to attract.
