  San Diego • While BYU seemed to struggle with consistency in the first half of the season, the Cougars seemingly got it under control since.Not anymore — BYU is back to square one.The Cougars struggled to establish a running game, turned over the ball three times while playing the air game, and missed six points on two field goals.“I have to go and evaluate it again,” BYU coach Kalani Sitake. “That’s not indicative of what we can do.

• Angela McGuire: Utah tech sector partnership needed to solve housing problems

  01-12-2019 19:00
  
  Utah’s economy is booming, thanks in part to the growing tech industry across the state. Levi Pace, a senior research economist with the Kem C. Gardner Institute who led a study on Utah’s Tech Economy last year, found that in terms of total employment and wages in the private sector, no state with an economy Utah’s size had a larger tech industry in 2018.This has been great for job growth (nearly 1 in 7 jobs) and economic impact (an estimated $29.7 billion); however, with it co

  Like many members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with a pioneer background, I am a byproduct of plural marriage. At last count, I have about 42 great-great-sister grandmas.Not all of my Mormon ancestors indulged in the practice of taking multiple wives but enough defended it to the extent that they were willing to go to prison and even get shot for taking on extra wives.Although aware of polygamy being a former church practice, I never gave it much thought.

  The Utah Legislature’s task force on tax reform presented its plan to change income and sales taxes in an effort to balance the needs of education and other programs in the state budget. While I applaud legislators for working hard to find solutions to these issues, and I believe their intentions are sincere, I am concerned that the proposal will place our students and education systems at risk in the future.For nearly 90 years, Utah has placed all income taxes into a special fund to be us

  The people at the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining are pledging to do better.They really can’t do worse.The Legislative Auditor General’s office last week gave the division a smack across the forehead after finding that not once in the last quarter century had it fined any oil and gas producer for breaking the rules.To be clear, no one is saying oil and gas operators didn’t break the rules. They just didn’t get punished for it. The division acknowledges creating a &ld

  Nearly two out of every three jaywalking tickets Salt Lake City police issued in recent years have been handed out within roughly a block of Pioneer Park and the now-closed downtown emergency shelter — the hub of homeless services in the Utah, a Salt Lake Tribune analysis has found.The cluster of jaywalking citations around the shelter gives credence to the homeless community’s complaint that police are particularly hard on them for minor infractions that others commit with impunity.

• Letter: The Tribune forgets its mandate

  01-12-2019 14:00
  
  When Paul Huntsman acquired a failing Salt Lake Tribune, it was strongly implied that, although the Huntsmans are an LDS family in good standing, they felt that Utah needed a second voice not controlled by or catering to the LDS majority.Perhaps that was the case early on. It no longer is.The latest example on the front page of the Nov. 24 issue, “Polygamy lives on in LDS Temples,” is offensively distant from the original mandate of the old Tribune. It should have been on B3 or in th

  Clearly the homeless need a way to safely transport and store the food, clothes, blankets and other necessities for their survival.Perhaps we could revisit our city’s handcart heritage by developing a program to build and distribute inexpensive carts to those in need. A simple, weather-tight, lockable wooden box on wheels would greatly benefit those without a permanent residence and reduce the issues with using shopping carts.I do not think that these handcarts being left on sidewalks woul

Whatever the reason, one thing was clear: SDSU didn't want to lose to BYU again.And the Aztecs didn’t. SDSU’s defense — one of the best in the nation — kept BYU to
