Speaker Hughes statement in support of Salt Lake County press conference concerning jail beds

SALT LAKE CITY – Speaker Greg Hughes issued the following statement regarding the Salt Lake County press conference to announce funding for jail beds.

“As I stated in my opening remarks this past legislative session, homelessness is a statewide issue and every community has a role to play.
