I am concerned that Gov. Spencer Cox’s recent executive orders, specifically executive orders 2023-08 and 2023-09, emphasize business development and community service over addressing pressing Utah social safety net issues.

Gov. Spencer Cox speaks at the PBS Utah Governor's Monthly News Conference at the Eccles Broadcast Center in Salt Lake City on Thursday, Oct. 19, 2023.

Executive order 2023-09 introduces community service requirements for businesses seeking economic development incentives. While it’s vital for businesses to be socially responsible, these requirements may inadvertently shift the burden of addressing social issues onto the private sector. This raises questions about our state government’s commitment to resolving these issues effectively.
