What's CITY Talking About?
Laws to Expect in 2025
Senators and representatives from around Utah will convene at the Capitol from Jan. 21 to March 7 for the annual legislative session. What new laws, programs, or funding will come of it? We set expectations about everything from the Great Salt Lake to revenge on Sugar House Pub and the Utah Supreme Court. [City Cast Salt Lake 🎧]
Bill Supporting Homeless Rights
Salt Lake City Rep.-elect Grant Amjad Miller has proposed a “Homeless Bill of Rights,” with legal protections for unsheltered folks like voting access, the right to public spaces, and the ability to safeguard personal property. The bill was modeled after similar laws in other states. [FOX 13]
Be the Voice of the Utah Jazz
Do you have the voice of an angel and a passion for basketball? The Utah Jazz have launched a nationwide search for their new announcer, following the retirement of announcing legend Dan Roberts. Applications are open until Feb. 28. [Utah Jazz]
Late-Season Flu Spike
Flu cases in Utah are spiking late this season, with over 500 influenza-related hospitalizations reported by late December 2024. Health officials emphasize vaccination and preventative measures — if you’re feeling sick, stay home. [Utah News Dispatch]
