(Scott Sommerdorf | Tribune file photo) Kristen Cox, then the executive director of the Utah Office of Management and Budget, turns to answer a specific question about the governor's budget during Gov. Gary Herbert's visit with the Salt Lake Tribune editorial board, Wednesday, December 13, 2017. Since leaving her state post last year, Cox has been working to start a new government operations program at the University of Utah's David Eccles School of Business.
Bethany began covering state government at The Tribune right in time for the 2018 election. She's a proud Maryland Terrapin and worked at newspapers in the D.C. area and in Orlando, Florida, before coming to Utah. Her aspiration is to one day keep an orchid alive for more than a month.
