| Description |
Bradley L. King discusses his life in Price, Utah, from childhood through his career at Utah State University Eastern and seven terms as a state representative. He highlights the advantages of growing up in rural Utah, such as diverse opportunities in school and recreation, and the strong community bonds and civil political discourse found in Price. King also addresses the challenges of retaining youth due to limited job opportunities, the transition from a coal-based economy, and the unique historical and cultural diversity of Carbon County, hoping for managed growth and thoughtful economic development to secure the town's future. |
