SALT LAKE CITY?Utah legislators are currently debating whether or not the state will disown the city of Wendover and allow it to be annexed by the neighboring state of Nevada.

“This is a very serious issue,” said Kim Wallace, D Sandy. “Wendover is our city of sin, and that puts a sort of tint on Utah’s image.”

While Nevada Gov. Kenny Guinn seemed hesitant about purchasing the city, afraid its watered-down alcohol and bland nightlife might tarnish Nevada’s image. Utah officials hope to sweeten the deal by throwing in Tooele, which leads the nation in per-capita teen pregnancy, to sweeten the deal.
