devices, which I'm sure will save lives, but no mention is made who pays for them. When private businesses are required to provide these sorts things we all end up paying for them. There is always a good cause that some people think soemone else should be forced to pay for.

Come on reporter, put the rest of the story together. HOW MANY FACILITIES IN SOUTH JORDAN ARE NOW REQUIRED TO HAVE THESE DEVICES? What is the total dollar cost to equip these facilities, and what is the estimate for number of lives saved if all such facilities are compliant? I haven't heard of a fatal heart attack in a church in South Jordan in years! This is government deciding that any good idea ought to be mandatory. By that reasoning, we should reduce all speed limits to 55mph, because that would be safer. But wait! 25mph would be safer yet! We'd save lives! Oh, but removing engines from all cars would still be safer! We should do that!

Did you know that more people die each year from Cardiac Arrest that those killed in traffic Crashes? More than 1000 people every day! And I am sure you sit in the barber shop and hear "everything" that happens in all churces and Schools! Did you know there is a BMX race in South Jordan this weekend?
