Who’ll pay the $2.2 billion cost of another Utah Olympics?
If Utah were selected to host the 2030 Winter Olympics, it would cost $2.2 billion. The 2034 Olympics would cost even more.

In response Lee wrote, "What changed? To quote the Broadway musical ‘Hamilton,’ ‘If you won’t stand for anything, what will you fall for?’”
