    Very true about the SLC area, but they’ve done a very good job of keeping the rest of the state pointed in a… different direction.

      That makes a lot of sense.

      If progressive policy can just be sold to the people in Mormon Church I could see a swing. It’s not like their own internal policies don’t line up pretty one-to-one with progressive goals for helping each other.

      The only issue I see is just that they want their followers to be looking at the Mormon Church as the provider, rather than the state. The state could easily subsidize residents, which would in-turn would free up some of the financial burdens of the Mormon Church, but who knows if they could be convinced that it’s a win-win for everyone.
