Utah Drought: Governor Asks for Prayers, Critics Condemn Response
Governor Spencer Cox has declared June 29th as a “Day of Prayer and Fasting for Rain” and urged Utahns to conserve water due to the intensifying wildfire season. The state is currently experiencing extreme drought conditions, with almost all of the state in moderate to severe drought and nearly half of the state suffering from drought. Cox has reached out to religious leaders statewide to encourage them to share the invitation. This declaration follows the governor’s previous calls for prayer and action regarding water shortages, highlighting the severity of the situation.
