I doubt it has anything to do with Utah in particular. It's the same mindset of the ones who are refusing to leave New Orleans. The city is all they know and it was all they had. These are people who, for the most part, have never left NO or Louisiana. The idea of going anywhere else terrifies them... irrationally, but for sure.
Yes, but I haven't heard reports that they are refusing to go to the 9 other states.
This has nothing to do with leaving NO. They already have left NO. It's about where they DON'T want to go.
