GOV. SPENCER COX PLEDGES TO KEEP WIC, NATIONAL PARKS OPEN IF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN

Press Release

"It's extremely disappointing that Congress is unwilling to fulfill its most basic obligation of funding the government, but Utah is prepared to step up and do what it takes to reduce the impact of a shutdown on Utah families. In Utah, our number one priority is our families and we will not let down the families who depend on the WIC program. Our tourism economy is also of vital importance and we've communicated to Interior Secretary Haaland our plan to keep Utah's national parks open if she is willing to work with us, and our expectation that any state dollars spent will be restored to the people of Utah."
