What's CITY Talking About?
Utah Legislature To Comply With Redistricting Ruling
… somewhat. Utah Senate President Stuart Adams and House Speaker Mike Schultz released a statement saying they will comply with the court ruling to redraw the state’s congressional map, but called it “unconstitutional” and “unfair to Utahns.” They will also pursue legal options to fight the ruling, including an appeal to the Utah Supreme Court. [Utah Senate]
Trump Doesn’t Like It, Either
Earlier, President Donald Trump also called Utah’s redistricting order, "absolutely unconstitutional,” urging Republicans to “STAY UNITED" to protect their majority. [KSL]
- What comes next? We explore how this decision could end up back with you. [City Cast Salt Lake 🎧]
Flu Shot Season
In case you wanna get ahead of the game: Flu shots are now available at Harmon’s and Smith’s pharmacies. [Hey Salt Lake]
