Jill Love, director of the Utah Department of Cultural & Community Engagement, said the prominence of the Ukrainian flag during the Russian invasion shows how a symbol can unite individuals. She hopes Utah's new flag can do just that.

Utah’s flag contains a beehive, bald eagle, sego lilies and two U.S. flags on a navy blue background.Utahns have until April 30 to submit their suggestions or ideas for a new state flag design.

“I think the goal all along of the Legislature and the governor and lieutenant governor has been to have a flag that we see ourselves in — that represents symbols of today,” said Jill Love, director of the Utah Department of Cultural & Community Engagement, which manages the initiative. Adopted in 1903, Utah’s flag contains a beehive, bald eagle, sego lilies and two U.S. flags on a navy blue background.

“When we surveyed them, a lot of people said that they liked the current flag. They didn’t want to see it go away,” Love said. “But then, when they were asked, ‘Do you see do you see yourself in it?’ ‘Does it represent you or to describe what’s on the flag?’ They couldn’t.”

How stupid! We don’t need a new flag as this is history of our state. This is wrong! Keep it the way it is!

Sure, just go with some variation of the Pride flag. As inclusive as it gets.

I don't really care. What really matters is whether or not Utah legislators are in it for the power & money or to serve the people by improving life in Utah. Don't see much of the latter going on.

Wow she just bounces from govt job to govt job

Letter: Utah Legislature should reduce the number of bills that can be presented during a sessionAs the legislative chair of the Utah Retired School Employees Association, I have the responsibility of following public education bills considered during our Legislature’s session each year. I have had that responsibility too long, and hope that someone would step up to replace me, but that is not the purpose of this note. At the end of the session, after the governor has finished his role in the process, I do a brief summary of what happened, which summary is sent to all members of the URSEA.
