Tribune Editorial: Utah has a drug problem. It’s not marijuana.
Scott Sommerdorf | The Salt Lake Tribune Utah Governor Gary Herbert spoke at his afternoon press conference about a wide ranging set of topics from health care to medical marijuana, and the current state of the legislature, Wednesday, February 17, 2016.
