SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 18, 2023 (Gephardt Daily) — Following a presidential proclamation, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox issued an order Monday for the U.S. and state flags to be flown at half-staff on all state facilities in recognition of the passing of Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.
Flags should be lowered to the half-staff position beginning at sunrise Tuesday and return to full-staff at sunset. The governor also extended an invitation to all Utah residents, businesses and other organizations to participate in the recognition.
O’Connor, the first woman to serve as a U.S. Supreme Court justice, died Dec. 1 at age 93 from complications of dementia.
