The bill could include a pipeline to get more water into the shrinking lake. FOX 13 News first reported last week the Great Salt Lake dropped to a new historic low of 4,190.2 feet. Its dramatic decline since the 1800s is a result of water diversion, drought and climate change.

Romney said in a statement announcing the bill."It is incumbent on us to take action now which will preserve and protect this critical body of water for many generations to come.
The idea of a pipeline from the Pacific Ocean to the Great Salt Lake was recently proposed by the Utah State Legislature's Water Development Commission. The practicality of such an idea has been questioned with environmental groups saying water conservation will do more and sooner. At first glance it looks like this bill puts federal money toward the asinine idea of piping water in from the pacific https://t.co/8CcXQSIzWK pic.twitter.com/Enxtmo6WnN

Utah abortion trigger ban: How will Utah actually enforce its law?Physicians — and assisting nurses and pharmacists — have been questioning their own possible culpability based on the language in SB174, Utah's abortion trigger law.
