(Salt Lake City, UT) — The Utah Division of Natural Resources has a new leader. State senators voted yesterday to confirm Joel Ferry as the new director of the agency. Ferry resigned from his seat in the Utah House last month after being selected for the post by Governor Cox. That’s led to a lawsuit by Democrats, who want Ferry’s name removed from the ballot in House District One. Ferry says he plans to stay on the ballot so Republican voters have a candidate in the race.
