This year's legislative session will be critical in bringing the Great Salt Lake back from the brink, and state leaders say they are ready to get to work.More than two dozen scientists and conservationists issued a dire warning that made waves last week, grabbing national headlines in The Washington Post, The Guardian, USA Today and on CNN.
