A bill seeking to create Utahraptor State Park in the Moab area failed to pass a Senate committee over funding concerns this week. Although members acknowledged ‘something’ needs to be done in the Dalton Wells area with regard to resource protection, several weren’t convinced the statehouse could allocate $10 million this year to the project. And later in the news, state and local leaders weigh in on Coronavirus and how local residents can stay safe.
