Utah pulls state-owned Spanish Web site

-- Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. has pulled the plug on a new state-owned online information site because it is in Spanish.

Huntsman's spokesman Mike Mower says the governor's legal counsel is trying to determine if the site's translations of basic state information violate a 2000 Utah law that makes English the state's official language, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.

The site, www.espanol.utah. gov, is a Spanish-language companion to the state's informational Web site, www.utah.gov. The site offered 10 pages of information on taxes, health services, drivers' licenses and work-force services selected from the state's 400-page Web site, the newspaper said. --
