President's Message

The Bottom Line
Howard Headlee, President, Utah Bankers Association

"Unbelievable.  That’s the only way I can describe the current political situation.  But perhaps not for the reasons one would expect.  
 
It’s been decades since we witnessed the attempted assassination of a President of the United States.  And while it is unbelievable that someone was able to get a gun onto a roof in such proximity to a high-profile target, it’s even more unbelievable that a subtle head turn was the only thing preventing a catastrophic event that could have dramatically changed so many aspects of American life."
