Utah, which has a majority of Latter-day Saints (Church members), keeps being in the top of lists for...

• ...for being well-managed, good for business, good at caring for the poor in public/private cooperation, with high donations & volunteer hours, etc.
• Again, far from perfect as we are imperfect humans.
• At least according to years of article headings I have followed in ksl.com and deseret.com (admittedly both Church-owned, but it seems realistic).
• (I do read from a wide variety of news sources. I used to do it in multiple languages but had to cut back for time & energy reasons.)
• As one example, Utah has many Olympic sites (from 2002) that are still maintained & actively used, many years later. Those Olympics were financially sound.
• I feel like I never personally encounter political corruption in our area, but I retain hope that that is still true for more than just Utah.
• An excellent example: BYU Pathway Worldwide: educational opportunities for many who could not have previously afforded it or qualified to get in.
• KSL web site (online, radio, TV: my favorite source for local news)
• The Salt Lake Tribune might be the next-largest local news source, which I also have had in my feedreader and enjoyed (and delivered, as a boy).
