SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Gov. Gary Herbert will lay out his plans for his new four-year term in a speech at his inauguration ceremony Wednesday at the state Capitol.
Herbert is a Republican who’s been in office since 2009. He easily won re-election last November.
He and Utah’s other constitutional officers took their official oaths of office on Monday. That’s the day their previous terms ended.
But because that day fell on a state and federal holiday, they all took their oaths individually.
They’ll take them again in public at Wednesday’s inauguration ceremony.
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Utah National Guard 23rd Army Band are scheduled to perform.
Herbert has said he wants to spend his next term improving education in Utah, including by boosting test scores and graduation rates.
