The Bottom Line
Howard Headlee, President, Utah Bankers Association

"I was in Washington D.C. in September the week leading up to the temporarily averted government shutdown. It was fascinating. As always, it was well worth the time and effort to engage in the process. If you look past the noise and the political spin, you can see the things that you need to understand."
