SALT LAKE CITY — A group of Utahns called on state lawmakers to focus on the high cost of living. They urged legislators to spend the 45-day legislative session — which started last week and runs through March 6 — working on helping Utahns afford to live. “When housing is unaffordable and healthcare support is stripped away, families are squeezed from both sides,” she said. “Caregiving becomes harder, workforce participation drops communities weaken.”Bringhurst urged legislators to view those issues “through the lens of real families — my family.”“Protect all social services,” she said. But opponents have urged lawmakers to forego another tax cut and instead spend that money on social services or other community needs.
