Talk of Salt Lake City hosting the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games echoed through House and Senate chambers at the state capitol Thursday morning.
“We are bullish on the prospects for another Winter Olympic Games here," said Sarah Hirshland, President and CEO U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee.
“We got our two bills that needed to be passed to enable us to take the next step in our journey to hosting the games," said Fraser Bullock, President and CEO of the Salt Lake City-Utah Committee for the Games. "This resolution gives us the ability to make assurances to the IOC for hosting the games," said Representative Jon Hawkins.
Governor Spencer Cox touched on the topic in his monthly news conference, saying taxpayers don't need to worry about risks and losses from the multibillion-dollar event.
