Jon Dunn reportingLeaders in both Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County are having to take a long, hard look at their budgets thanks to Delta.
A million dollars is a lot of money----and that's how much Salt Lake City is owed---it's the kind of money that might say pay for gasoline for the scores of cars here at the fleet headquarters.
Gordon Hoskins: "Right, now, we're still ok."
