Jenny Wilson: Beef up laws to address targeted hate crimes

[Citing a Facebook posting from DESERETNEWS.COM]: "Salt Lake County has joined a handful of other Utah cities and counties urging state lawmakers to pass stricter hate crimes laws. The County Council unanimously approved a resolution Tuesday urging the Utah Legislature to beef up laws to address crimes that target people because of their race, religion or sexual orientation."

Jenny Wilson for Senate Facebook response: "Progress. Proud that the County Council on which I serve passed this unanimously and with an expanded list of commonly targeted religious groups. It's time to start measuring the success of our communities by how we treat our most vulnerable members. This resolution calls upon Utah's legislature to step up."
