What's CITY Talking About?
Utah Legislature vs. Unions
The Utah legislature is in its 45-day general session and lawmakers have labor unions in their crosshairs. Rep. Jordan Teuscher, R-South Jordan, is running a bill to end collective bargaining for public employees (police, firefighters, teachers) and an amendment that appears to enshrine “Right to Work” language in Utah’s constitution.

Fans Pay More for Bees Baseball
The Salt Lake Bees moved to Daybreak and ticket prices are noticeably higher. Bees’ management say the added amenities, like premium seating and cheaper parking, are worth the cost. [Salt Lake Tribune]
