A Utah congressman snubs Democrats during a visit to the state Capitol. Taxpayers foot the bill for a secret construction project at the private home of Gov. Spencer Cox. After final approval of a bill at the Legislature, schools will have to seek the governor’s OK to shift to online learning because of COVID-19.
