“I’m all for it. Living here and being a small business owner, I welcome business in the wintertime. I think it will be beneficial, especially running events like marathons. Events that bring athletic individuals are great for my business.”

Breann Davis, Moab

“I think it’s a good thing. The winter months are big for unemployment, and it would be better and easier for people to afford housing if they were employed consistently over the winter months.”

Gregorio Hernandez, Moab

Elie Zane, San Antonio
