OPINION: Prop 4 would eradicate gerrymandering

JayMac: I’m voting “yes” for Proposition 4. It’s a bipartisan effort to reduce the gerrymandering in Utah that’s rampant. It'll create an independent voting commission that'll redraw voting districts.

OPINION: How Apartment Patty and the Black man both messed up

OPINION: Will facial recognition prevent school shootings?

At first blush, facial recognition sounds like a good idea. But upon further consideration, it really doesn't make much sense. Aren't most school shooters currently enrolled in the system? Are random strangers walking into schools to commit crimes?
