Utah’s Senate President’s Abuse of Power?
A relative of Utah’s Senate President Stuart Adams was charged with rape of a 13 year old. Then, Adams initiated changing the sentencing law for similar cases. We explore what comes next as this explosive story hits national headlines. [City Cast Salt Lake 🎧]
Found Foot Solves Cold Case
A dismembered foot found on the shores of Fish Lake has been confirmed to belong to David White, who has been missing since 1997. The discovery is helping bring closure to a missing persons case in Utah and White’s family. [🔒Salt Lake Tribune]
Tuesday Is Primary Election Day in Utah
Time for another election. Salt Lake County voters will choose their Democratic or Republican fighters in primary elections on Tuesday. Notably, there are no primaries in Salt Lake City, Millcreek, South Salt Lake, and Midvale because those cities use ranked-choice voting. [Axios Salt Lake City]
